More about the book
The paper explores the complexities of leprosy in colonial India, highlighting the confusion surrounding its transmission and treatment during a time when modern medicine was emerging. It examines leprosy asylums and the various motives—medical, political, and religious—behind the treatment of lepers. By analyzing the interplay between colonial interests, public opinion, and missionary agendas, the study aims to uncover how these factors influenced public health policies and the colonial state's approach to managing the disease.
