This book delves into the historical and sociological dimensions of scientists working in laboratories in India, shedding light on the historical, sociological, and policy factors that influence scientific endeavours. It highlights the challenges, achievements, and the evolving role of science in societal development. The author engages in a broader discourse on the relationship between scientific progress, social contexts, and policy frameworks. This volume deepens our understanding of how science shapes India’s social landscape and contributes to global scientific dialogue. The book also examines issues such as brain drain, science activism, and the tension between university- and government-led scientific models. Clear and timely, it will be of great interest to social and natural scientists, as well as students and researchers in science, technology, history, and innovation policy.
