Summary, etc. The present volume is the result of work spread over five years, and<br/>already covered in part in several other publications cited in the biblio-<br/>graphy. My first work on the subject was done with funds from the<br/>Development Advisory Service at Harvard University, in the summer of<br/>1967, and published by them as a memorandum in June 1969. I con-<br/>tinued my work on Marwaris during 1968 and 1969. A later recension<br/>is available in a paper delivered to the Bengal Studies Conference in<br/>May 1969, and published with the other proceedings of that Conference<br/>by Michigan State University, Asian Studies Center in the Fall of 1971.<br/>I received a Foreign Area Fellowship for work in India in 1969 and<br/>returned to the United States in September 1971 to work on the final<br/>draft of my Ph.D. thesis on which this work is based.<br/>I would like to thank Drs Gustav and Hanna Papanek for their initial<br/>encouragement in this study and continuing support; my thesis advisor,<br/>Prof. Henry Rosovsky, for the time he devoted to going over various<br/>versions of the thesis manuscript; my two formal host institutions in<br/>India--the Birla Institute of Technology in Pilani, Rajasthan and the<br/>Indian Institute of Management in Calcutta—especially Drs Dool<br/>Singh, B. R. Aggarwal, and S. K. Porwal at the former and Borun De<br/>and Kaumini Adhikari at the latter; as well as two informal institutional<br/>hosts—the Delhi School of Economics and the University of Rajasthan<br/>at Jaipur-especially Drs Tapan Raichauduri, Dharma Kumar,<br/>Krishnamurty, and Radhakrishan at the former and Dr Dilbagh Singh<br/>at the latter.<br/>I would like also to thank the numerous students of the history of<br/>Bengal and Rajasthan who have assisted me and given generously of<br/>their time and wisdom to me in this endeavor-especially Drs Blair<br/>Kling, Subyasachi Bhattacharya, Pradip Sinha—those who have specia-<br/>lized in the study of Indian business-especially Drs Wayne Broehl,<br/>Stanley Kochanek, and C.A. Bayly; the historians of the Marwari com-<br/>munity itself, pre-eminently Rishi Jaimini Kaushik “Barua” and<br/>Vishambharlal Sharma; and the numerous Marwari families who<br/>told me of their family history and made private records available to me.<br/>Most of Chapter V is based on such records now in the possession of<br/>Mr Janki Prasad Poddar of Calcutta and Chitrkot, Sir Bhagchand Soni<br/>of Ajmer, and Mr Srinivas Dalmia of Calcutta. A special note of thanks<br/>is due to Mr R. K. Dalmia and his son, Mr Grun Nidhi Dalmia, for a<br/>chance to read his unpublished memoirs and to Mr L. N. Birla and<br/>Santosh Mukherjee of the Birla Organization who assisted me in study-<br/>ing the history of that family. Finally, I want to extend a general note<br/>of thanks to the many Indians of all communities who assisted and be-<br/>friended me during my 19-month stay in that country.<br/>It goes without saying that those who assisted me are in no way res-<br/>ponsible for my analysis or conclusions.
