Ashish Lahiri
Ashish Lahiri, historian of science, explores JD Bernal's contention that science in colonial India lacked a 'comprehensive critical tradition' and an 'internal security', and follows the punctuated evolution of a scientific spirit that sought to bridge 'the two cultures' in nineteenth century Bengal, documenting how Radhanath Sikdar, Vidyasagar, Akshay Kumar Dutta, Bhudev Mukhopadhyay, Jagadish Chandra Bose, Prafulla Chandra Ray and Rabindranath Tagore contributed to the project, and how organized religion intervened to drive 'the two cultures' apart.
