Index
Amidst the wilds of Tartary and Russia, although he still evaded me, I
have ever followed in his track. Sometimes the peasants, scared by
this horrid apparition, informed me of his path; sometimes he
himself, who feared that if I lost all trace I should despair and die,
often left some mark to guide me. The snows descended on my
head, and I saw the print of his huge step on the white plain.
This book could not have been written without the advice and
assistance of numerous friends and colleagues. I want to thank Arjun
Appadurai and Carol Breckenridge in New York for their unfailing
support; Michael and Rachel Dwyer in London for the quality of their
understanding and the constancy of their hospitality; and Christophe
Carvalho for once again giving me the time and space to write in
Mumbai. This book is in substantial ways a product of the many
conversations I’ve enjoyed with friends old and new. And it is for the
pleasure of their company as much as for their arguments and
insights that I want to thank Shane Brighton, Jean Comaroff, Nick
Frayn, Meenakshi Ganguly, Thomas Keenan, Naveeda Khan, Mark
Lacy, Uday Mehta, Satya Pemmaraju, Omar Qureshi, Vyjayanthi
Rao, Sudipta Sen, Thorvald Sirnes and Neguin Yavari. I am also
grateful to the Christian Michelsen Institute in Bergen, and especially
to Kari Telle, for allowing me to revise my manuscript in the most
beautiful location imaginable. This volume was written in association
with the project on Comparative Ethics of War at the International
Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO).
