Is Science Western In Origin? by C.K. Raju
The book argues that modern science did not arise solely in the West, tracing important contributions from non‑Western traditions—especially Indian mathematics, astronomy and computational methods—while critiquing Eurocentric historiography and colonial distortions; it examines how philosophical assumptions about proof, experiment and causality are culturally situated and calls for a pluralist, decolonized understanding of the history and practice of science that recognizes cross‑cultural exchange and social context.
