The era of high colonialism in South Asia coincided with the period when eugenics came to dominate much of the scientific discourse in Europe and America. Such attitudes were naturally transplanted into the colonial world where medical researchers helped to establish a pathological "difference" between Europeans in India and the colonial "Other," thus creating a medical discourse dominated by racial segregated treatment regimes. With the growth of trans-national transfer of scientific knowledge, this colonial "research" began to underpin racially constructed medical practices wherever they occurred.
南亚的高度殖民主义时代与优生学在欧美主导大部分科学话语的时期相重合。这种态度自然被移植到殖民世界，在那里医学研究人员帮助在印度的欧洲人与殖民地的“他者”之间建立起一种病理性的“差异”，从而创造出一种由种族隔离治疗制度主导的医学话语。随着科学知识跨国传播的增加，这种殖民“研究”开始为无论出现在何处的种族建构医学实践提供支撑。
