SECOND CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS

INDIA TODAY: AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LIFE IN THE REPUBLIC

Edited by

Arnold P. Kaminsky and Roger D. Long


We are seeking additional contributors to the forthcoming encyclopedia
"India Today: Life in the Republic" to be completed this summer and
published early next year by ABC-CLIO press. The encyclopedia is one of the
series of "Life in the Republic" initiated by Greenwood Press, and it is
aimed at the high school and undergraduate student--although we are hoping
it will be of interest to the general reader as well.

We would like to invite contributor for the following entries to the
encyclopedia. In the attached list you will find the list of entries for
which we are seeking contributors with a suggested word length. At the same
time, we are open to suggestions for other entries which are not listed but
which you feel should be included and which you would like to write.

We hope you will look over the list of entries and we would be very grateful
to you for any contribution you could make. Payment for writing any entries
will be made by the publishers when the manuscript is almost finished which
we anticipate to be early autumn.

Thank-you very much and we very much hope to be working with you.


Please contact Roger Long at rlong at emich.edu.
