Abstract
- Before understanding the development process of science and technology in India during colonial rule, it is necessary to understand what science is. Science is a way of gaining knowledge which leads us to such beliefs. Which can be verified on the basis of logic and experiments. In English it is called Justified True Beliefs. In short, the foundation of science is based on direct evidence i.e. Positilist MPricipm. The science that was coming with the new technology had no existing roots in India. In modern science, theory and experiment go together. It was so in Europe but such scientific vision had not emerged in India. It is often said very strongly that modern science was present in ancient Indian thought and that India had a very old tradition of science and technology. It is true that India before the arrival of the Europeans was not an intellectual void, but there is no special justification for this when we see that even at that time only a limited and exclusive class had the right to acquire knowledge. At the beginning of the colonial period, nothing was happening in terms of science and technology in India. A fundamental difference between the ancient and modern scientific traditions is that in the ancient Indian tradition, there was progress in various fields of science but no significant achievements were made at the mechanical level. Whereas the biggest achievement of the modern scientific tradition has been the development of mechanics in it. The development of mechanics promoted new research in the field of science.
