A LIST OF BOOKS ON INDIAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
THE following is a short list of Books on Indian science and Technology. Most of these books have not yet been seen by us. Many of the titles are gleaned from other articles. and references. Hence the list is not in any sense representative of the literature on the subject, which of the source works (in Indian Languages) or their translations.
This list can be supplemented by going through the various articles in the journal. ' Indian Journal of History of Science ' which is published biennially by INSA from 1966. We hope that various groups will cooperate in exchanging through this bulletin similar lists of books/ articles that they come across. In this way we may finally evolve an extensive bibliography of material on Indian Science and Technology.
