Vernacular Medicine in Colonial India PDF
By:Shinjini Das
Published on 2019-01-31 by Cambridge University Press
Conceptualised in opposition to 'orthodox' medicine, homeopathy, a western medical project originating in eighteenth-century Germany, was reconstituted as vernacular medicine in British Bengal. India went on to become the home of the largest population of users of homeopathic medicine in the world today. Combining insights from the history of colonial medicine and the cultural histories of family in British India, Shinjini Das examines the processes through which Western homeopathy was translated and indigenised in the colony as a specific Hindu worldview, an economic vision and a disciplining regimen. In tracing the localisation of German homeopathy in a British Indian province, this book analyses interactions between Calcutta-based homeopathic family-firms, disparate contributors to the Bengali print market, the British colonial state and emergent nationalist governments. The history of homeopathy in Bengal reveals myriad negotiations undertaken by the colonised peoples to reshape scientific modernity in the subcontinent.
