In the context of life and civilization, the pharmaceutical
industry is as old as human existence. Since time immemorial India
had its own enriched indigenous tradition of medicine. The
development of alchemy and its application for human welfare was
also an important step in Indian scientific tradition. The present
monograph is an innovative attempt to understand the history of the
indigenous pharmaceutical companies in Calcutta during the colonial
times. Here pharmaceutical companies have been viewed as an illumi
nating lens to understand the interconnectedness between Indian
traditions of thought and Western science and subsequent develop
ment of pharmaceutical industry in colonial India. The entire gamut
of discussion centres around the issues of medical education,
medical services, public health, pharmaceuti cal profession and
politico-economic contexts of the development of pharmaceutical
industry in colonial India. Three indigenous pharmaceuticals namely
- Butto Krishna Paul & Co., Bengal Chemical &
Pharmaceutical Works Limited, and East India Pharmaceutical Works
Limited have been studied. The study not only portrays the
politico-economic back ground to the emergence of the
pharmaceutical industry in colonial India but links it to the
economic nationalism and the quest for self-sufficiency among
Indian nationalists and entrepreneurs. The pharmaceutical industry
in India can be symbolic of a cultural re sponse to modern science
which was to pave the subsequent trajectory of national scientific
endeavours in India. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not
sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan,
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
