Manifested in the encounters between Indian and Western medicine and colonial dictates, these interpretations led to emergence of new structural forms, which were as much ‘paradigms of defence’ as sites of negotiation for these encounters. Accordingly, the essays herein reflect upon these structural representations validated through colonial discourse on female education, nationalizing Indian medicine, strategies of memory and representation, and expressions of non-compliance in various health measures, enabling a relocation of the trajectory of Western medicine and reconfiguration of medical knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789384082758\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.0 x 6.1 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50135298736432,"sku":"DRG.ePrimus_9789384082758","price":1272.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91bKKtjW0OL.jpg?v=1757603131","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/contesting-colonial-authority-medicine-and-indigenous-responses-in-nineteenth-and-twentieth-century-india-1","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
