DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
This draft manuscript has been up for public comment on the internet since mid-2008. I’ll be
grateful for your comments on this draft at sabhlok AT yahoo DOT com. Comments that
end up influencing the content of this book will be acknowledged.

Mosts artists don’t mind others observing from behind as they work on their paintings. Observers
therefore get to see how a blank canvas evolves into a beautiful work of art. Not so with writing.
For some reason, writers are reluctant to share their drafts, preferring to offer the finished
product, or something close to the finished product. But I’m happy for let you observe my work as
it evolves, warts and all. Although I know I’ll never be happy with this book, I must wind it up,
hopefully by end-2012.

I used a similar approach with Breaking Free of Nehru (Anthem Press, December 2008) and was
pleasantly surprised by the quality of feedback I received. I made good friends in the process. I
have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of feedback I’ve received on this draft so far, and
would like to thank the correspondents.

I seek comments mainly on content and accuracy. Many typos still litter this draft. Some
language shortcomings have been exacerbated by speech recognition software which I use
because of my severe typing injuries, or RSI.

There is no guarantee that anyone will publish this manuscript. But given that publishers don’t
like publishing books which are available freely, in full, on the internet, I’ll have to restrict
public disclosure over the course of the coming year, as it nears completion.

Please do not cite from this manuscript, since it is work in progress. My views at the
moment are tentative excursions. Only the published version will contain my final views (to the
extent that any liberal’s views can ever be final.)

Please delete this draft after reading! [join me at sabhlokcity.com]
