Throughout the process of writing this book, many individuals have been an inspiration and a great help to me. In my Gandhian journey, I have found a friend and a pillar of support in Ashis Nandy. He has been there providing his heartfelt support and guidance at all times and has given me invaluable guidance, inspiration and suggestions in my quest for Gandhi. I also would like to express my gratitude to the generous help and friendship of my friends Rajagopal P. V. and Jill Carr-Harris. I also have great pleasure in acknowledging my gratitude to my colleagues and fellow scholars at Jamia Millia Islamia, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies and O. P. Jindal Global University, Professors Mujib Rehman, Shail Mayaram, and Ramaswamy Sudarshan. I take pride in acknowledging the insightful guidance of Dr Raj Kumar, Vice Chancellor, O. P. Jindal Global University, for sparing his valuable time whenever I approached him and showing me the way ahead. I would also like to express my gratitude to my assistant and friend Shama Banoo Abbasi, who has been a great help in taking forward the Mahatma Gandhi Centre for Peace Studies at O. P. Jindal Global University. It would be inappropriate if I omit to mention the names of my dear friends Sachin Dhawan, Ruchira Gupta and Raj Rewal, who have, in their own ways, kept me going on my path to the making of this book. My acknowledgment would be incomplete without thanking the biggest source of my strength, my family. The blessings of my mother, Khoji Kia, and the love of my wife Azin Moalej and of course my prime source of life force, my daughter Afarin, who never let things get dull or boring.
