520			_aThis book is a step towards writing a socially informed history of physics in India in the first half of the twentieth century. Through a series of micro histories of physics, Abha Sur analyses the confluence of caste, nationalism and gender in modern science in India and unpacks the colonial context in which science was organised. She examines the constraints of material reality and ideologies on the production of scientific knowledge and discusses the effect of the personalities of dominant scientists on the institutions and academies they created. https://www.amazon.in/Dispersed-Radiance-Gender-Modern-Science/dp/8189059327
