Book Summary
About the Book: Caught Between Two Cultures Science in Nineteenth Century Bengal
In his book The Social Function of Science (1939) talking about science in
colonial India, J D Bernal wrote about the lack of a comprehensive critical
tradition and of an internal security. Ever since I first read the comment in
the 70s, I have wondered what exactly the two phrases meant. At the outer level
was the obvious fact of colonialism but there were other intertwined layers
needing exploration.
