I owe a debt of gratitude to my late uncle, Fakir Syed Jalaluddin, for the loving care with which he preserved his part of the relevant family papers and paintings, and to his son, Fakir Syed Mughisuddin, for his courtesy in making them available.
An equal debt is due from me to my friend, Mr. Hadi Hussain, formerly of the Indian Civil Service and the Civil Service of Pakistan, for his valuable advice and help in writing this book. Because of my varied worldly preoccupations, the book may never have seen the light of the day but for Mr. Hadi Hussain's co-operation; and, if this is not more prominently acknowledged, it is only because he maintains that the "vision" informing the portrait presented here is the exclusive possession of the Fakir family-an argument to which I have no answer.
