ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Richard F. Strand (former Professor of Anthropological Linguistics Study, Colonel University, USA) and Dr. Michael Witzel (Professor of Department of South Asian Studies, Harvard University, USA), whose various researches on languages and Socio-Religious characteristics of ancient inhabitants of Hindukush Mountain, the history of Dardic People, and related Indo-European Language Studies, had always kept an open door to me as vast resource of knowledge. I am extremely obliged to their silent guidance by their published books, research and document papers, and websites.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Prof. Gautam Bhadra (National Professor of India, Former Professor of Department of History, University of Calcutta, India), whose published books and papers on History of Mughal-India helped me to conceptualize critical historical aspects of that period.

I would also like to express my deep gratitude to my respected teacher Dr. Abhijit Mukherjee (Professor of Department of Electrical Engineering, and School of Foreign language, Jadavpur University, India) for his warm and enthusiastic encouragement and useful critiques of this work.

 

 

Special Thanks to:
