Abstract:
With Calcutta as the hub, eastern India was the gateway of technology transmission to India. This book explores the social history of this transmission, from the colonial metropolis to the interior, and analyses the context and results of technology induction to the villages. Based on local level sources, it also looks into why technology failed to accelerate development in India as against its impact in the West.
