My very profound gratitude to my caring, loving and supportive husband Mr. Mohd Ilyas Qureshi and my children Ms. Aayra and Mr. Adiyaan, who patiently waited for me to come home, and always had the dinner ready, who never in these year complained about the absent-mindedness of a wife and mother, who worked at the laptop all day and stared vacantly into space in the evenings, supposedly spinning away new arguments towards the book in my head.

My Daddy Mr. Kamruddin Siddiqui and Mom Mrs.Yasmeen Siddiqui, my Father-in-Law, my brother and sisters, for providing me with unfailing support and continuous encouragement throughout my years of study and through the process of researching and writing this book. Their infallible love and support have always been my strength. Their patient and sacrifice will remain my inspiration throughout my life. This accomplishment would not have been possible without them.
