    Yes, this is the bane of authors everywhere. I just had an article come out in an excellent volume, and I am quite proud of the content. But I read through it after the hard copy arrived in my mailbox and found that the diacritical marks are all over the place, and I know it's not all the fault of the copyeditors.

    This is how one learns humility, I suppose!

    Along those lines, I believe Mr. Pandey starts out with some words like 'History of India is inevitably linked to the history of Hinduism...'. I would have used the word 'inextricably', instead of 'inevitably'. But that is not my call.

    Pranam.

    Namaste,

    I have made some changes in according to the criticisms offered here. Indeed the book was written in haste and I made a few mistakes(most of them unconsciously), which I am willing to correct. The book is available on amazon.com for free today(September 1st). I request the esteemed scholars here to go through the book and help me in making it better.

    I thank you for your criticism and support.

    Regards,
    Pawan
