In the previous chapters I have sketched the main characteristics of the climate of India. I have shown its physiological and morbid action on the British race--that its rate of sickness and of mortality is much higher than in England--that the reproductive power of our countrywomen suffers diminution, and that their children must return to England, or degenerate; so I am prepared to answer a question that has often been asked: Can the Anglo-Saxon race colonize India? It is well to know on what terms we hold India, now that we have Russia on our frontier; and that by giving the natives an European education we are steadily increasing their power to throw off our yoke. There are two ways of colonizing. The first is by "swarming," as the bees do, and as we have successfully done, to some well-chosen isothermal region, such as North America and Australia. The second is by intermarriage with aboriginals of a country, as did the Saxons, Danes, and Normans with us, and the Spaniards with several South American races. Colonization by "Swarming."--In India we have found a tropical climate, and all past experience shows that our race, if kept pure from other blood, would die out with the third or fourth generation. Nevertheless, there are some who believe that we might colonize most parts of India, while others think it would be only possible to do so in certain favourable spots. My readers will doubtless feel disposed to adopt the opinion of a very high authority, Sir Bartle Frere, who graciously wrote to me in the following terms: --" As regards colonization by swarming, your statements are most true with respect to most stations in the plains; but there are vast tracts of...

After years of neglect the last decade has witnessed a surge of interest in the medical history of India under colonial rule. This is the first major study of public health in British India. It covers many previously unresearched areas such as European attitudes towards India and its inhabitants, and the way in which these were reflected in medical literature and medical policy; the fate of public health at local level under Indian control; and the effects of quarantine on colonial trade and the pilgrimage to Mecca. The book places medicine within the context of debates about the government of India, and relations between rulers and ruled. In emphasising the active role of the indigenous population, and in its range of material, it differs significantly from most other work conducted in this subject area.

Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.
