S.M. Jain
I do not have words to express my deep gratitude for Dr. L.M. Singhvi for sparing his valuable time and the trouble he has taken to go through the manuscript and write an excellent comprehensive "Foreword" for the book.
I thank Shri Budh Singh Bapna, Dr. Dayakrishna Vijay, Dr. Ramcharan Mahendra, Shri Shivnarain Upadhyaya, Dr. P.C. Vijayvargiya, Dr. K.C. Sogani, Ms Arpita Das, Sardar Khushwant Singh, Shri I.C. Khatri, Shri Anandraj Jain, Shri Kushal Raj Jain, Prof R.K. Jain for their valuable comments and suggestions. I also thank Shri Naval Singh Kushwaha, Laxmi Computers Talwandi, Kota for Typing and retyping the manuscript.
I shall fail in my duty if I do not thank my wife Smt. Sheela Jain for her perseverance and silent but valuable contribution in helping me in all my activities with utmost sincerity and devotion I thank her and shall continue to thank her for her steadfastness in thick and thin, ups and downs in our life.
I am grateful to Dr. Dharam Chand Jain for going through the manuscript inspite of his indisposition on account of debilitating jaundice. He very kindly recommended the manuscript for publication to Professor Sagarmal Jain, Director, Parshvanath Vidyapeeth, Varanasi. Prof. Sagarmal Jain was kind enough to consent its publication. I am grateful to him for his kind gesture.
