    Medical History, 1992, 36: 290-305. ANTI-MALARIAL POLICY IN THE MADRAS PRESIDENCY: AN OVERVIEW OF THE EARLY DECADES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by V. R. MURALEEDHARAN and D. VEERARAGHAVAN * The history of health care in colonial India was for long a neglected field of study. However, in recent years interest in the history of medicine and its role during the period of British rule has been growing, as is evident from the increasing number of studies published.' While some attempts have been made to draw the broad outlines of the development ofhealth policy at both an all-India level2 and at regional levels,3 the policies on specific diseases have received far less attention.4 This is particularly true of malaria. There is as yet no detailed history ofanti-malarial measures in colonial India.5 Our desire to fill this gap in the existing literature on the history of health care is the basic motive for this paper, which attempts to trace the various anti-malarial steps taken by the government of Madras during the early decades of the twentieth century. We begin with a brief background to the nature of health care policy in the Madras Presidency and a summary ofthe debate on the nature ofanti-malarial measures taken in the years following the discovery of the anopheles mosquito. We then focus our * Both Dr V. R. Muraleedharan and Dr D.
