Abstract

Focuses on early development of psychoanalysis in colonial India, both from point of view of British analysts working in India, as well as that of Indian thinkers. This text shows how Freudian concepts were challenged by Indian thinkers in applying them to very different social, familial and cultural contexts. The author also studies Freud's correspondences to reveal his attitude towards the Other, which mirrored European hegemonic tendencies. It is intended for psychologists and psychoanalysts, historians, and scholars interested in origins of discipline of psychoanalysis in India.
