A Historical Perspective Science in India (Hardcover) Price: Rs.1500
In the fascinating saga of ancient scientific
ideas and techniques, Indian accomplishments hold an exalted position.
India displayed its originality not only in mathematics and
computational astronomy but also in holistic medicine, metallurgy and
other fields. For reasons known and unknown, however, India did not
develop a rational, methodological and verifiable matrix for ushering in
modern science until the nineteenth century. But when modern science
was finally introduced to India by the British, it did not view it as
alien to its ethos. India welcomed it instead and several bright Indian
scientists scaled the peaks of excellence. The main objective of Science
in India is to present to the general reader a comprehensive narrative
about the history of science in the country. Based on authentic sources
and their indepth study, this book deals with the origins, ramifications
and achievements in traditional astronomy, mathematics, medicine and
chemical practices, besides certain concepts related to the physical
world as well as plant life. It also discusses the advent and growth of
modern science till Independence, highlighting the seminal contributions
of Indian scientists who won international acclaim. This is a
historical and factual perspective on science in India, traversing a
span of more than 5,000 years.
