This essay seeks to carry out an apparently simple task: to recover some of the ways in which `science' was used as a category by nationalists in late colonial India in connection with the need for `development'. In so doing, the essay also looks at ways in which `science' became part of a legitimating rhetoric in late colonial India. - Reproduced
