- Summary:
- Historians of medicine have often focused exclusively on medical developments and ignored larger social realities. This book challenges such partial approaches and seeks to integrate medical issues within a larger narrative of social change. It explores both the social history of livestock and veterinary history in South Asia, and integrates both of them seamlessly within its narrative.
