This is the first full-length monograph to examine the history of
colonial medicine in India from the perspective of veterinary
health. The history of human health in the subcontinent has
received a fair amount of attention in the last few decades, but
nearly all existing texts have completely ignored the question of
animal health. This book will not only fill this gap, but also
provide fresh perspectives and insights that might challenge
existing arguments. At the same time, this volume is a social
history of cattle in India. Keeping the question of livestock at
the centre, it explores a range of themes such as famines, agrarian
relations, urbanisation, middle-class attitudes, caste formations
etc. The overall aim is to integrate medical history with social
history in a way that has not often been attempted. -- .
