Happy India: As it might be If guided by modern science

“Happy India: As It Might Be If Guided by Modern Science” by Arnold Lupton envisions a scientifically driven transformation of India under British rule. Lupton advocates for the application of modern science and technology in agriculture, industry, public health, and education to improve living standards. He emphasizes the need for irrigation, mechanization, sanitation, and scientific education. However, the book reflects a colonial mindset, positioning Western science as superior, while downplaying India’s own rich traditions and knowledge systems.
