No two articles of the author are alike, akin to inventing every week a new sweet sorghum variety, or a new variety
of another crop. Indeed, the essays may be likened to multiple crops in a hectare of field that is this book. Just as
grain harvests of groundnut or pearl millet are good food for the body, these essays are refreshing food for
thought. We may not agree with everything the author writes, but he certainly says it with conviction and in style.
While ICRISAT staff have been consulted and actively assisted in the preparation of this book, the sole responsibility
belongs exclusively to the writer regarding accuracy, truthfulness and implications of any of the statements in the
book.
