Spanning the period from the establishment of East India Company rule through to Independence, David Arnold's wide-ranging and analytical survey demonstrates the importance of examining the role of science, technology and medicine in conjunction with the development of the British engagement in India and in the formation of Indian responses to western intervention. One of the first works to analyse the colonial era as a whole from the perspective of science, the book investigates the relationship between Indian and western science, the nature of science, technology and medicine under the Company, the creation of state-scientific services, 'imperial science' and the rise of an Indian scientific community, the impact of scientific and medical research and the dilemmas of nationalist science.New Cambridge history of India ;III, 5.Science, Technology & Medicine in Colonial IndiaScienceIndiaHistoryTechnologyIndiaHistoryMedicineIndiaHistoryScienceHistory.TechnologyHistory.MedicineHistory.509.54Arnold David1946-626927UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910973378903321Science, technology, and medicine in colonial India4423751UNINA
