Introduction to Dharampal Works

Claude Alvares shares the crucial work of Dharmpal in Indian History. He shares his personal story of encountering Dharmpal's work while doing his PhD.d in Netherlands and explains how this chance encounter turned his view about Indian sciences. He speaks about lone journey that Dhrampal had taken, without any institutional support, to extricate research papers, journals, and books from archives of Britain. It took him almost twenty-five years to bring out true picture of 18th and 19th century India as depicted by British themselves.
