Description

This volume examines varied aspects of health and medicine as they relate to the political upheavals of the colonial era - from the micro-politics of medicine in princely states and institutions such as asylums through to the wider canvas of sanitary diplomacy as well as the meaning of modernity and modernisation in the context of British rule. Cutting across modernity and colonialism, some of the key themes explored here include issues of race, gender, sexuality, law, mental health, famine, disease, religion, missionary medicine, medical research, tensions between and within different medical traditions and practices, and India's place in an international context.
