Acknowledgements.

This work is partly the result of an ongoing research project on the history of the Indian national movement conducted under the direction of Bipan Chandra and financed by the Indian Council of Social Science Research. A special feature of the project is that apart from utilizing traditional sources such as archives, private papers, inst.i.tutional papers, and newspapers, it has attempted to use the experience and understanding of the gra.s.s-roots level partic.i.p.ants in the national movement. We are extremely thankful to more than 1500 freedom fighters who gave freely of their time and extended us generous hospitality when we interviewed them. Along with Bipan Chandra, three of the contributors to the volume - Mridula Mukherjee, Aditya Mukherjee, and Sucheta Mahajan - are members of this project. We are grateful to K.N. Panikkar for contributing two chapters to the book.

We have benefited immensely from our long-term interaction with S. Gopal and Romila Thapar. Many colleagues and students - V. Ramakrishna, D.N. Gupta, Prem Choudhry, Mohinder Singh, Sas.h.i.+ Jos.h.i.+, Bhagwan Josh, Lajpat Jagga, A. Murali, K. Gopalan Kutty, C.S. Krishna, Gyan Kudaisya, Visalaks.h.i.+ Menon, A. Thomas, Vineeta Damodaran, Harjot Oberoi, Neerja Singh, C. Chandermohan - have enabled us to evolve our ideas and have also helped in several other ways.

Many friends - P.C. Jos.h.i.+, B.D. Talib, Barun De, S. Bhattacharya, V.N. Datta, Ravinder k.u.mar, Hitesh Sanyal, Randhir Singh, Mohit Sen, Kewal Varma, Pramod k.u.mar - have deepened our knowledge of the subject through discussions and criticism.

We would like to thank the Directors and the staff of the National Archives and various state archives, the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, the Jawaharlal Nehru University Library and other libraries in Delhi and other parts of the country for allowing us to use their facilities. We are, in particular, thankful to B.R. Nanda, V.C. Jos.h.i.+, D.N. Panigrahi and Harideo Sharma of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library for their a.s.sistance. As usual, Usha Chandra has contributed in multiple ways to the making of this volume.

We would also like to thank the publishers, and especially David Davidar and Sudha Sadhanand, for their interest and co-operation in seeing the book through its many stages. We also wish to thank J.S. Baweja who rendered invaluable a.s.sistance by cheerfully typing the ma.n.u.script under tremendous pressure.
