SYNOPSIS
Covering the period from the foundation of the Asiatick Society in 1784 to the establishment of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science in 1876, Sen explores the relationship between Indian astronomers and the colonial British. He shows that Indians were not passive receivers of European knowledge, but active participants in modern scientific observational astronomy.
