Missionaries and their medicine
Missionaries and their Medicine is a lucid and enthralling study of the encounter between Christian missionaries and an Indian tribal community, the Bhils, in the period 1880 to 1964
Organizing Missions into Distant Lands
This paper analyzes the medical measures initiated by medical missionaries in the second half of nineteenth century in Kashmir. It was a significant period in the history of Kashmir on account of various economic and political developments. Similarly the valley of Kashmir witnessed an arrival of medical missionaries who introduced the modern forms of medicine and later on this task was persuaded by the colonial masters while reforming and reorgan…

Anthony Low and Modern Indian History
Professor Anthony Low, who died in Canberra on 12 February 2015, is best known for his role in the transformation that took place in the study of the history of South Asia between the 1960s and ear
Miracle Cures for a Suffering Nation
Sai Baba of Shirdi, who died in 1918, was raised as a Muslim but is today revered as a Hindu saint. One of his most important perceived qualities was his ability to provide miraculous cures for his devotees, and this has continued after his death. I argue here that the emphasis in the Hindu tradition on saintly figures healing the sick is a relatively modern phenomenon. Earlier, though such figures were renowned for their miracles, healing played…
Medical Marginality in South Asia
Examining the world of popular healing in South Asia, this book looks at the way that it is marginalised by the state and medical establishment while at the same time being very important in the everyday lives of the poor. It describes and analyses a world of ‘subaltern therapeutics’ that both interacts with and resists state-sanctioned and elite forms of medical practice. The relationship is seen as both a historical as well as ongoing one. Focu…
The Influenza Epidemic of 1918 and the Adivasis of Western India
The influenza epidemic of 1918 was the single worst outbreak of this disease known in history. This article examines an area of western India that was affected very badly-that of a tract inhabited by impoverished indigenous peoples, who are known in India as adivasis . The reasons for this are discussed. Some oral accounts help to bring out the enduring memory of that terrible time. The general health of the adivasis and the existing medical faci…
Indian medical indigeneity
The Indian system of healing known as Ayurveda is today popularly projected as a holistic form of healing that works on the mind, body and spirit. It is also said to be extremely ancient, with a knowledge rooted in successful practice that has continued largely unchanged for millennia. The article seeks to understand how a ‘traditional’ form of healing that is associated with Indian civilisation came to occupy such an epistemic space. The related…
Purifying the nation
This article examines the impact of the Arya Samaj in Gujarat from 1895 to 1930. Although the founder of this body, Dayanand Saraswati, was from Gujarat, it initially proved less popular there than in the Punjab. The first important Arya Samajists in Gujarat were Punjabis, brought there by Sayajirao Gaekwad of Baroda to carry out educational work amongst untouchables. The Arya Samaj only became a mass organisation in Gujarat after a wave of conve…

Knowledge of the Bhils and Their Systems of Healing
In this essay, I shall examine how the Bhils of the border region between the present states of Rajasthan and Gujarat understood and treated ill health and disease in the late nineteenth century
Healing Bodies, Saving Souls
Missionary medicine flourished during the period of high European imperialism, from the late-1800s to the 1960s. Although the figure of mission doctor – exemplified by David Livingstone and Albert Schweitzer – exercised a powerful influence on the Western imagination during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, few historians have examined the history of this important aspect of the missionary movement. This collection of articles on Asia…

The Political Ecology of Nostalgia
In seeking to counter the grand narrative of capitalist progress with an alternative narrative of its own, ecological theory resounds with the clash of disputed histories. Visions of a better, more sustainable ecological future are tied to a variety of interpretations of the past. History is deployed to establish what is possible for humanity, or appealed to as a proof that a way of life which once existed before can — if we so will it — be reali…

Community, patriarchy, honour
Raghu Bhanagare was leader of a group of Mahadev Kolis in Western Maharastra in the mid‐nineteenth century. He led the greatest of the Koli revolts (or bands,) of the colonial period, and, alone among nineteenth century Koli rebels, continues to live in the popular memory. He was executed in 1848. His band was part of a tradition of revolt against the colonial state which, in the mid‐nineteenth century, gradually metamorphosed into a tradition of…

The roots of rural agitation in India, 1914-1947
In a recent essay in the Journal of Peasant Studies, Neil Charlesworth has rejected the 'middle peasant' theory of peasant militancy as it has been applied to India. It is argued here, first, that Charlesworth has not properly understood this theory, and, second, that there are drawbacks to the theory, but that they are very different from the ones put forward by Charlesworth. In addition, a critical examination is made of Charlesworth's analysis…
