Acknowledgement

First, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Director General of the American Institute of Indian Studies (AIIS), Mrs. Purnima Mehta, and the chair of AIIS Language program, Prof. Rebecca Manring, for their support and encouragement in the creation of the “Basic Punjabi OER Textbook.”

I am deeply indebted to the AIIS Punjabi Language Program team for their invaluable contributions. Without the Punjabi Language team, this project would not be possible. They have helped me at every step in this book.

I am extremely grateful for the support and guidance that I have received from the Michigan State University (MSU) team. Without Prof. Siddharth Chandra and Ms. Linda Miles and her team’s valuable feedback and suggestions, it would have been impossible for me to complete this project.

Last but not least, I am forever grateful to my students who are the source of my inspiration for this book, I would like to thank those who played a role directly or indirectly in the completion of this book.
