This book analyzes the diverse facets of the social history of
health and medicine in colonial India. It explores a unique set of
themes that capture the diversities of India, such as public
health, medical institutions, mental illness and the politics and
economics of colonialism. Based on inter-disciplinary research, the
contributions offer valuable insight into topics that have recently
received increased scholarly attention, including the use of
opiates and the role of advertising in driving medical markets. The
contributors, both established and emerging scholars in the field,
incorporate sources ranging from palm leaf manuscripts to archival
materials. This book will be of interest to scholars of history,
especially the history of medicine and the history of colonialism
and imperialism, sociology, social anthropology, cultural theory,
and South Asian Studies, as well as to health workers and NGOs.
