Focusing on public health in British India, this comprehensive study explores European attitudes towards India and their influence on medical literature and policies. It examines local public health under Indian control and the impact of quarantine on colonial trade and pilgrimages. By situating medicine within broader debates about governance and the dynamics between rulers and the ruled, the book highlights the active role of the indigenous population, offering a fresh perspective that sets it apart from other research in the field.
