  • Description

    This book gives a flavour of the Indian response to modern science by analysing the lives and careers of four scientifically influential personalities in Bengal. It throws light on some of the complex and paradoxical issues attending India's engagement with modern science in the peculiar context of colonialism. While, explicating the nuances of the response, this work also contests some broad generalisations which have a bearing on the subject. The author uses this study to emphasise the importance of a prosopographical approach. His analysis of the careers of two scientists, J.C. Bose and P.C. Ray, and two institution builders, Mahendrala Sircar and Asutosh Mookerjee, brings to light the issues related to science are a time of colonialism and nationalism.
