War in Ancient India c3.2

c3.2

I offer my tribute of respect to Lt.-Col. Dewan Bahadur Dr. A. Lakshmanaswami Mudaliar, Vice-Chancellor, University of Madras, who has contributed a foreword to this book; his profound learning and vast experience are only equalled by his courtesy and readiness to afford to others advice, the soundness and value of which it would be difficult to over-rate. Nor must I omit to express my warmest gratitude to Rao Bahadur K. V. Rangaswami Aiyangar and Rao Bahadur C. S. Srinivasachari for kindly reading the proofs, and making helpful suggestions, and to the Rev. Fr. T. N. Siqueira, S.J., for reading the manuscript of the work. For the arduous task of the compilation of the Index, I owe thanks to Dr. T. V. Mahalingam, M.A., D.Litt., I also desire to thank the Madras School-book and Literature Society for the generous contribution towards this publication.
