Interest in the science, technology and medicine of India under British rule has increased in recent years and has played an important part in the reinterpretation of mode South Asian history. David Aold's wide-ranging analysis combines a discussion of all three fields across the entire colonial period-from the 1860s through to Independence-offering both a survey of recent scholarship and an original overview. Aold assesses the role of science in the making of colonial India and in the fashioning of Indian responses to British rule.

Interest in the science, technology and medicine of India under British rule has grown in recent years and has played an ever-increasing part in the reinterpretation of mode South Asian history. Spanning the period from the establishment of East India Company rule through to Independence, David Aold'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 weste 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 weste 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.
