- W70658536 abstract "Looking through the prism of technoscientific research, the dissertation provides a historical understanding of the process of agricultural modernization in India during the period 1947 to 1975. The narrative is set at the backdrop of the Cold War politics, India’s drive for economic and social development, gradual capitalization and chemicalization of agriculture worldwide and international exchanges of knowledge, skill and manpower. In a period marked by close interaction between the political and technoscientific establishments, the dissertation demonstrates how they helped to constitute each other. The cooperation between political and technoscientific wings of the Indian state, the dissertation argues, stemmed largely from mutual interests. The scientists as a professional community were eager to actively participate in the economic development of the newly independent nation-state. In doing so they wanted to ensure continuous government patronage, funding for their projects and access to international collaborations. With very little research opportunity in the private sector, government funding was crucial for the professional advancement of any scientists in India. Agricultural scientists, therefore, tried with various amount of success to claim a good portion of budgetary allocations. They would be particularly successful in doing so with the introduction of the green revolution technology in the mid-1960s. On the other hand, the primary interests of the Indian government in employing a large pool of scientists and engineers were to find fast and effective solutions to a whole range of social, economic and political problems facing the new state. To the modernizers, technoscientific approach looked increasingly more attractive when compared with immensely more complex, expensive path of structural reforms. The need for modernization is a defining characteristic of the new nation-state. But though largely unanimous about modernization as a normative goal, historical actors rarely" @default.
