Extract
Hyderabad is blessed with impressive libraries and archives. I would like to thank the staff of the institutions where I did my research work. At the Andhra Pradesh State Archives and Research Institute, I was generously assisted by Zareena Parveen, S. Ramakrishna, P. V. Seetha Rama Rao, T. Purandhar, R. Ranjana, B. Satyanarayana, T. Shankar, Md. Azharuddin, Mir Khaleel-ur-Rahman, Noorunnisa Begum, and S. A. Wali. Equally generous was the staff of the Salar Jung Museum and Library. I would like to extend my gratitude to Soma Ghosh, Azeeminissa Begum, Mir Abbas Ali, T. Dinesh Singh, and Vilas Kadam. I am also deeply grateful to the Idāra-i Adabiyāt-i Urdu Library and the Sundarayya Vignana Kendram. I would like to thank particularly Murali Atlury, Mohamad Abdus Samad Khan, and C. Sambi Reddy for their warm hospitality and interest in my work. Their contribution to scholarly life in Hyderabad and scholarship about Hyderabad are impressive and admirable. I would also like to thank K. Ramachander Rao at the Osmania University Library, who greatly facilitated my use of its collection. Both Muhammad Abdur Rahman and Riaz Fatima were generous in their efforts to help me through these collections. In New Delhi and London I was able to visit the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, the Dr. Zakir Husain Library at Jamia Millia Islamia, and the India Office Library. To the staffs of these institutions I am deeply grateful. The Berkeley Urdu Language Program in Pakistan and the American Institute of Indian Studies Urdu Program in Lucknow provided me with both financial support and a conducive environment for learning Urdu. The American Institute of Indian Studies and the Fulbright Program provided generous research funds and a welcoming base from which to conduct my work in India and England. The History Department at the University of California, Berkeley, and Mount Holyoke College, in addition to being nourishing intellectual centers, have provided me with financial support for further research. For the enthusiasm of my students at Mount Holyoke, whose intelligence and passion improved my writing immensely, I am especially grateful.
