This comprehensive work examines India's transformation into a significant hub of technological and scientific innovation during the twentieth century. Focusing on the period leading up to India's first nuclear test in 1974, Anderson explores the roles of prominent Indian scientists—such as Meghnad Saha, Shanti Bhatnagar, Homi Bhabha, and Vikram Sarabhai—and their interactions with political leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru. The book delves into the integration of science within the framework of Indian nationalism and modernization efforts, offering a unique perspective on the history of Indian nationhood and the politics of its scientific community.
