Notes
The fieldwork for the project, of which this paper is a part, was supported by the Social Sciences and the Humanities Research Council, Canada; the Institute for the Study of World Politics, New York; the University of California, Berkeley; and Michigan State University. While in India (1978–79 and 1981), I was affiliated to the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi. I would like to acknowledge the helpful comments of M. A. S. Rajan and James Manor, some of which have been incorporated into this final draft.
