| Summary / Abstract (Note) | I was flying to Jerusalem. It was my maiden flight. I was going to Israel for a 3-month field trip; what a luxury! These days, financial constraints considerably reduce the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)-sponsored field visits to a week or 10 days. The support in those pre-economic reform eras came with US$25 per diem, along with international tickets. While the university committee approved my field trip in May 1987, procedural issues, RBI clearance, and budgetary process delayed it by a year. Finally, the trip was set for the mid-1988, a few months after the outbreak of the first Palestinian intifada. |
