Alternative Sciences by Ashis Nandy (9780195655285)

Description - Alternative Sciences by Ashis Nandy

This book is a biographical sketch of the lives of two celebrated Indian scientists, J.C. Bose, the plant physiologist, and Srinivasa Ramanujan, one of the greatest untrained mathematical geniuses the world has ever known. Nandy discusses the extent to which the colonial context within which these men worked, impinged on the calibre and nature of their work.
