Sir Monier Monier-Williams, M.A., K.C.I.E., pays due tribute to his Western contributors. But I do not find in his Dictionary any mention of his  Indian contributors' input - no list of Pandits who worked for him - without them, without their immense knowledge, his Opus Magnum would have never appeared in print. 

I can only wish that someone with access to M-W's working archive would find documents re M-W's Indian employees and publish their names, more: using Indian archive materials - their full biograms. 

They deserve to be finally brought out of that area of shadow surrounding colonial Indology.
