520			_aSuvobrata Sarkar, ed., History of Science, Technology, Environment, and Medicine in India. Routledge, 2023, 350 pp. The book under review is a collection of essays prepared in honour of Deepak Kumar. Kumar has written some of the most widely cited and influential works on the analytical history of colonial-era science in India, in the process, advancing the argument that colonialism, seen as a set of political aims and attitudes, shaped knowledge-making in eighteenth and nineteenth-century India in fundamental ways. That mediated contact between systems of learning and practice in Europe and India generated lively exchanges, created new discourses, shaped pedagogy, and limited and suppressed some forms of precolonial learning and research. Kumar’s Science and the Raj, published in 1995, is a classic in the subject. In the next quarter century, he published many texts elaborating and modifying the arguments, and in collaboration with other scholars, extended the agenda in novel directions like environmental knowledge.- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00194646241256333
