Response to the Needham Question

An interdisciplinary travelogue in abstract knowledge domains, engaging directly with Joseph Needham's question on why modern science did not originate in India or China.

The first book-length work by Debajyoti Gangopadhyay, framed as a travelogue through abstract knowledge domains. It takes up the long-standing Needham Question — why the scientific revolution did not emerge from India or China despite centuries of technical achievement — and re-reads it through the lens of Indian epistemology, logic and the philosophy of science.
