Lunatic Asylums in Colonial Bombay: Shackled Bodies, Unchained Minds - Mental Health in Historical Perspective
Sarah Ann Pinto
The book argues that the colonial lunatic asylum failed to assimilate into Indian society and therefore remained a failed colonial-medical enterprise. Lunatic asylums left a legacy of historical trauma for the indigenous community because of their coercive and custodial character.
