This conflicting interests, programmes and goals which influenced the emergence of Anglo-Indian social purpose and scientific organizations between 1780 and 1880 are examined in this book. The intellectual energy that promoted the growth of these multi-racial associations and their efforts toward reform was often diverted by British government structures, financial limitations and Indian resistance. Ellsworth's study traces how, despite these obstacles, these Anglo-Indian groups became the foundation for both the official and reformist programmes which were integral to the formation of the Indian Congress at the end of the 19th century. After a brief historical introduction, Ellsworth offers an overview of social science ideology from British and Anglo-Indian perspectives with specific emphasis on the progressive intellectual development, both social and personal, advanced by members of the Bengal, Bombay and Punjab associations. The author traces government involvement in select areas of science associational research and the relationship of that research to official policies and regulations, agri-business goals and the commonwealth. He also deals with key elements of Anglo-Indian science associational programmes shaped by needs of the community but also by the British science world and British and Anglo-Indian economic interests. The creation of a colonial science is thus outlined.
