Why is it not there in the Chessmaster?

Raja Rao's introductions and prefaces are as meaningful as his books. In fact, some are repeatedly published in many collections. For instance, consider his Kantapura piece. In certain sense!!, it is more popular than Kantapura.
This blog has been giving you the excerpts and snippets from Raja Rao writings once in a while. More regularly in recent times. Mogadalai calls that as love-in-fourth-stage!!
But Raja Rao's, first book in the trilogy, The Chessmaster and his moves does not have any introduction. I just wonder why.
An absolutely interesting absence indeed!!
