Description
Beastly Encounters of the Raj: Livelihoods, Livestock and Veterinary Health in North India, 1790-1920 offers a groundbreaking look at colonial medicine. As the first full-length monograph to examine this period through the lens of veterinary health, it addresses a significant gap in the existing history of the Indian subcontinent. While previous texts have focused on human health, this work shifts the focus to animal health and the social history of cattle in India. By placing livestock at the center of the narrative, this volume provides fresh perspectives that challenge current historical arguments. It explores the relationship between livelihoods and animal welfare during the Raj, making it an essential resource for those studying imperialism, colonial medicine, and agricultural history. This book is part of the Studies in Imperialism series (121) from Manchester University Press.
