Abstract Amitav Ghosh merges science and subalturn history in “The Calcutta Chromosome.” It is appealing to study how Ghosh has balanced Victorian history and contemporary history, and how he touches Jamesian view that 'a novel is history'. Further, Ghosh also pictures the character of L.Murugan and connect subaltern knowledge of combination of science and religion ideologies. The Calcutta Chromosome is known as his famous “postcolonial” work of science fiction. This novel contains the idea of “alternative” history which is about “subaltern” people and of course a history of Ronald Ross, the famous physician and Novel Prize winner for his discovery about malaria transmission. The novel is mostly centered on the “subaltern” people, their silence and their history. The present article is an attempt to examine how the course of history and science is used creatively by Ghosh to provide a significant inter-text to the story.
