Published by Routledge as part of The Social History of Health and Medicine in South Asia series, this work examines the shifts in birthing practices during this era.

Using eastern India as a primary case study alongside research from other regions, this text provides empirical data regarding the interactions between midwifery practices and colonial modernities. It is an essential resource for those studying the social history of medicine and health in South Asia.
