Working in the archives and libraries in search of source materials was not always a fun experience. I had the opportunity of presenting parts of the thesis at the SSRC conference in Bangladesh in 1996, and at a number of conferences organized by the Center for South Asian and Indian Ocean Studies at Tufts University between 19. I was also fortunate to receive a generously funded write-up fellowship from Tufts University in 1998–9. I am grateful to SSRC and the Ford Foundation for offering me the support to conduct research in (p.xii) Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. The research that has gone into this book was funded by a dissertation grant (1996–7) awarded by the South Asia Programme, Social Science Research Council (SSRC), New York. Her appreciation of my work will remain a source of inspiration to me. Ayesha Jalal has been another pillar of support during all these years. Also, while writing the book, he provided me with help and encouragement of the kind that went beyond the usual call of duty. His scholarly insight has guided me in shaping the arguments of this book in a vital way. He has been supporting the project since it was launched. The greatest debt, of course, has been to Sugata Bose, my supervisor at Tufts University during 1995–9. I have incurred so many debts of gratitude during this journey that to thank everyone adequately seems to be a challenging task.
