Table of ContentsReviews'Readers dedicated to scientific modernity and national self-sufficiency in India will appreciate the confident way Sarkar presents evidence of local innovation and enterprise during colonial rule.

Both are good reasons to read this book, and those willing to look beyond the layers of modernist triumphalism will discover a wealth of empirical insights and thought-provoking arguments.'
