This paper locates allopathic doctors in India in terms of their social organisation and values, and considers the attempts which have been made to secure and extend their autonomy and monopoly. It is argued that nascent professionalization on the model of the developed countries is discernible in India by the 1920s, largely as a result of sponsorship by British doctors and by the Imperial State. However, since then, allopathic doctors in India have lost ground. Their indigenous competitors have produced a situation of medical oligopoly, the political structures have intruded more deeply into decision-making on promotions, entrance to medical college, and the establishment of new medical colleges. As a result, the Western doctors are experiencing deprofessionalization, in that they have lost autonomy both within the outside public employment, and have been vulnerable to political intrusions, though they remain powerful and prestigious. These trends are to be understood as results of the dependent position of India in the medical world, and as a result of the nature of post-colonial society within India.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101166,"journal":{"name":"Social Science & Medicine (1967)","volume":"11 10","pages":"Pages 561-573"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0037-7856(77)90174-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11797218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
