Archiving the British Raj: History of the Archival Policy of the Government of India, with Selected Documents, 1858-1947
Anticipations of Freedom: 1927–47
In the last two decades of colonial rule in India, there were anticipations of freedom in many areas of the public sphere. In the domain of archiving these were chiefly felt in the form of reversal of earlier policies.

The Defining Moments in Bengal: 1920–1947

Further, the chapter argues that while on the one hand t…

Nevertheless, India is not a major scientific power now and has b…
