Poonam Bala's Contesting Colonial Authority: Medicine and Indigenous Responses in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century India highlights various interpretations and mechanisms by which Indian medical knowledge was re-examined and projected in colonial India. Viewed in the light of a broad canvass of sociocultural, nationalistic, political, literary, and scientific essentials, Contesting Colonial Authority offers new perspectives in understanding the frame-work within which Indian responses were expressed against the cultural background of a rich medical tradition in colonial India.
