OUR FEELINGS in presenting this long-awaited volume-Himalaya Frontier in Historical Perspective are mixed. We feel happy that we have been able at last to place the title before our members and the reading public. But we also regret that it should have taken seven years for bringing it out, on the basis of the proceedings of a Conference held way back in 1979. The reason for the delay-paucity of funds and demands of abnormally high cost-is well-known and not need be repeated.
It was fit and proper that Gangtok was chosen as the venue of the Seminar on the Himalaya Frontier. The response of scholars, with expertise and specialised study at their disposal, was overwhelmingly spontaneous and encouraging. The papers presented at the Conference and incorporated in this volume conform to the norm, pattern and scope as laid down by Dr. S. P. Sen, the Founder-Director of the Institute in his letter addressed to the members and invitees on the eve of the Gangtok Conference.
