Description

This Routledge academic study examines the history of health and medicine across India's princely states between 1850 and 1950, filling a significant gap in colonial South Asian scholarship. While extensive research has focused on regions under direct British administration, this book explores the approximately two-fifths of the Indian subcontinent governed by princely rulers. The work compares progressive states like Mysore and Travancore with the princely states of Orissa, often characterised as economically disadvantaged, to reveal how different governance models shaped medical development, healthcare provision, and the adoption of Western medicine in non-colonial settings. By analysing these diverse political contexts, the book demonstrates how local rulers, indigenous practitioners, and colonial influences intersected to create distinct health systems across the subcontinent. Essential reading for historians of South Asia, medical history, and colonial studies, this volume contributes nuanced perspectives on how medicine functioned beyond the framework of direct British rule.
