The book addresses the issue of disease diffusion across the
geographical span of India during the colonial period. Based on
archival records, it analyses colonial economic policies and their
implications for the spread of the disease across different regions
of India as well as the role of the military in disease spread. It
adds a new dimension to the understanding of the spread of TB in
colonial India. The book also discusses the concept of the meaning
of illness for different cohorts of TB patients. Based on
narratives, it brings to readers the social and cultural dimensions
that are responsible for the prevalence of the disease, despite
having vaccination and medication available for more than half a
century. The book will be beneficial to health and medical
geographers and will bring new insights in historical geography as
well as the history of medicine, by incorporating policy changes
and their implication in disease spread. Sociologists and public
health professionals will find narratives of patients interesting
and useful for furthering their understanding.
