Focusing on the intersection of science and society during India's colonisation, this book examines the evolution of scientific traditions and their impact on society. It delves into the strengths and weaknesses of inherited scientific practices, the transformations instigated by colonial rule, and the societal responses to these shifts. Structured in four parts and grounded in extensive primary research, it highlights themes of contestation, adaptation, and hybridity within the broader context of colonialism.
