A number of friends, belonging to the University of Delhi where. this study was carried out, helped and encouraged me in completing the work. Professor Donald F. Lach of the University of Chicago and a Visiting Professor in the Department of History, Delhi University, during the year 1967-68, gave me some Demographic Tables of European cities prepared for his own use. Dr. Ashish Bose, Professor of Demography in the Institute of Economic Growth, went through the first draft of the book, lent ready advice on many points. and helped me in preparing Tables and Diagrams. Dr. Suren Navalakha of the Asian Research Centre placed at my disposal some very valuable material on the growth of Muslim population in Bengal. Dr. Feroz Ahmad of the Physics Department ungrudgingly carried out for me some calculations on the electronic computer, and Dr. H. C. Varma was kind enough to prepare the Index. To all these and many others not mentioned here I owe a debt of gratitude.
