Between 1924 and 1954, a period that goes from the consolidation of the post-revolutionary regime to the so-called Mexican Miracle, Khankhoje taught at the National School of Agriculture, worked as a geneticist, served as the director of the Free Schools of Agriculture, advised the federal government and various state governments and worked in the country’s emergent agroindustrial sector. This article argues that studying his time in Mexico provides important clues for understanding the ideological, institutional and scientific transition from agrarianism to agroindustry in those years, which facilitated the implementation of the so-called Green Revolution. It is based on the study of documents contained in the P. S.

Entre 1924 y 1954, un periodo que va desde el momento de consolidación del régimen posrevolucionario hasta el surgimiento del llamado “milagro mexicano”, Khankhoje se desempeñó como maestro de la Escuela Nacional de Agricultura, científico genetista, director de las Escuelas Libres de Agricultura, técnico y asesor del gobierno federal y distintos gobiernos estatales, y empleado del naciente sector agro-industrial en el país. El artículo argumenta que el estudio de su paso por México nos ofrece importantes pistas para entender el tránsito ideológico, institucional y científico que caracterizó el paso del agrarismo a la agroindustria durante aquellos años y que facilitó el inicio en nuestro país de la llamada Revolución Verde. Para esto, se basa en el estudio de documentos localizados en los P. S. Khankhoje Papers, de la Biblioteca Nacional Jawaharlal Nehru en Delhi, India, documentos del Archivo Histórico Genaro Estrada de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores de México, el Archivo Digital del Sur de Asia y América (SAADA) y en la información recabada durante una entrevista con Ana Savitri Sawhney Khankhoje, hija de Pandurang.El Colegio de México, A.C.2020-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/408210.24201/hm.v70i1.4082Historia Mexicana; Vol. 70, Núm. 1 (277) julio-septiembre 2020; 375-4212448-65310185-0172reponame:Historia Mexicanainstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXspahttps://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/4082/4299https://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/4082/4289Derechos de autor 2020 Historia Mexicanainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.historiamexicana.colmex.mx:article/40822024-08-16T21:55:34Z
