Science in India: A Historical Perspective - New Delhi Rupa publications India Pvt Ltd 2013 - 604
Science in India: A Historical Perspective A comprehensive and in-depth study of science in India 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.
