%X Dans les soci¨¦t¨¦s occidentales, l¡¯hom¨¦opathie occupe une place privil¨¦gi¨¦e parmi les m¨¦decines alternatives et compl¨¦mentaires pr¨¦sentes dans le champ m¨¦dical, ¨¤ c t¨¦ de la m¨¦decine allopathique et des rem¨¨des traditionnels. Mais si l¡¯on peut d¨¦j¨¤ s¡¯¨¦tonner de sa p¨¦rennit¨¦ malgr¨¦ les fortes oppositions qu¡¯elle rencontra d¨¨s sa naissance de la part du corps m¨¦dical, la place qu¡¯elle occupe aujourd¡¯hui dans le syst¨¨me m¨¦dical indien soul¨¨ve bien d¡¯autres questions. Nous d¨¦crivons et analysons ici l¡¯histoire de l¡¯introduction de l¡¯hom¨¦opathie dans le monde indien, en identifiant, grace aux sources historiques disponibles, les acteurs et les lieux de sa diffusion, jusqu¡¯¨¤ sa reconnaissance l¨¦gale et son int¨¦gration dans le syst¨¨me m¨¦dical pluraliste indien. In Western societies, among other complementary and alternative medicines, homoeopathy occupies a privileged position alongside allopathy and traditional remedies. Surprisingly, although homoeopathy had to face strong opposition movements from the medical field in Europe, it seems that its introduction in India was received more positively in the long term, a point which raises many issues. In this article, we describe and analyze the introduction of homoeopathy in India and its long-term historical process, identifying actors and places of its dissemination from the 1830s until its legal recognition by the State in the 1970s and its integration in the pluralistic Indian medical system.
