I can only hope that this and future work justify even a small part of his effort on my behalf. Clement Henry, Catherine Boone, and Itty Abraham have also been invaluable sources of intellectual guidance; the following pages show abundant evidence of their influence. I am also deeply thankful to Ajay Pandey, whose assistance in Varanasi opened the city to me and made fieldwork one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and to Nitya Pandey, Vinay Sharma, and Dwarika Chaube for their research assistance during the summer of 2008. Finally, I am grateful for the generosity and frankness of all those in Varanasi and New Delhi who made this project possible—those who accommodated me, befriended me, advised me, shared their views with me, gave me their time, took a genuine interest in my research, and fueled me with innumerable cups of tea and more.
