Both the British and Japan emphasized the superiority of Western medicine to indigenous in their colonies, India and Korea respectively, partly relying on the practice of indigenous medicine due to the lack of qualified doctors. The British and Japan, however, differed in acting medical law on indigenous practitioners and affected the sociopolitical space where the revivalist movements for indigenous medicine resulted from indigenous medical practitioners in India and the Japanese colonial government in Korea. It is worth noting that the two imperial powers politicized Western and indigenous medicine in similar fashion to legitimize their rules over the colonies.

Gann, (1984200219111913191319132005199520011997) Japan planned to enact a medical law just after annexation the practitioners complicated sphere of activities in Korea delayed the promulgation of the medical law Considering that the main purpose of the medical law was to draw a line clearly demarcating indigenous practitioners from qualified doctors it is reasonable to conclude that the complicated working forms of indigenous practitioners delayed Japans legislative capacity in this regard,

Paul R, (1995) After liberation from British rule political forces continued to play decisive roles in the formulation of medical policies on Indian systems of medicine Brass concludes that the revivalist movement has tended from the beginning to be strongly oriented toward politics Britain was going to hold onto key powers in the areas of finance and defense the India Act of 1935 brought all the provincial governments under the control of elected Indian ministers the Congress paid little attention to indigenous medicine in the beginning The practitioners of Western medicine demanded Indianization of the Indian Medical Service and creation of more openings for them an issue that was figured in every session of the Congress from 1893 to 1907 ; Budget allocations for the indigenous system of medicine never exceeded 13% of the total health budget and usually remained far below this figure,
