About the Book
This volume is the third in a series produced under the Wellcome Trust (London) funded documentation project Western Medicine and Indigenous Society: History of Diseases, Medicine and Public Health Policy in Colonial Eastern India (1757–1947). It compiles key selections from official reports on three major epidemic diseases that plagued colonial Bengal — Cholera, Malaria, and Smallpox.
By drawing on archival records, the book provides an invaluable historical perspective on how these epidemics were studied, managed, and perceived within the broader framework of colonial governance and indigenous responses. It highlights the interplay between Western medical practices and local knowledge systems, making it an essential resource for scholars of medical history, public health policy, and colonial studies.
