1) An investigation into the growth of complexity of military medicine and the ways in which it shaped colonial medical policy. 2) An examination of military medicine as a laboratory of clinical, technological and public health innovations, including trials which were later expanded across colonial Madras. 3) An exploration of the transfer of techniques and technology considered successful in these contexts to the civilian medical sphere, through Indian Medical Service officials (in government - and privately-funded medicine). 4) An assessment of the variations within urban contexts, as well as urban-rural differences. Based on an analysis of discussions and debates between IMS and Subordinate Medical Service officials, as well as an analysis of official reports, medical journals and newspapers. 5) An investigation of what is best described as a counter-narrative of success, which often took the shape of arguments about the dangers, limits and expense of new technologies. An examin ation of how these influenced military, civilian, indigenous and European perceptions within Madras Presidency, in relation to what was classed by the colonial authorities as being cutting edge medical technologies and care protocols.
