Abstract:
To what extent were colonial scientific knowledge or discourses used to achieve political and cultural goals? How did the recipient culture appropriate or redefine the metropolitan ideology of science? This book investigates some key questions related to British scientific encounters with India, exploring the link between science technology and the process of colonisation in the context of British India.
