The present volume is a mosaic of articles, a witness to the emergence of different schools of historiography who debate about bracketing science and technology together, about internal history (of viewing the scientific community as a society in itself) and external history (study of science in society at large) or even about whether sciences and not science in general merit their own history with regional variations. Some of the articles discuss personalities who have seen to the emergence of this country as a meaningful participant in the international sphere of scientific studies, relate science to other disciplines and also trace the rich heritage of endeavours in specific areas like medicine in the ancient period or voice recording technology in the early years of this century. Together with these, developments in technology in certain areas, beyond the frontiers of this nation have also been discussed. Nothing is too insignificant to be taken note of, not even dishwashers (gender issue in technology) or the canal system (industrial archaeology) in the broad canvas of history of sciences.
