• Resumen

  • During the colonial period, roughly one hundred degrees were awarded by MIT to Indians. However their importance to India and to the historical understanding of India is disproportionate to their numbers. These men�and they were all men�often from elite families, formed a technological elite in the last days of colonial India. Their careers show a technological nationalism in India�several men came from families associated with Gandhi�and represent an important foreshadowing of the period after independence.
