PRACHIN BHARATER CHIKITSABIJNAN - https://boimela.in/product/prachin-bharater-chikitsabijnan/             Ancient Indian medicine achieved remarkable progress, as seen in texts like Charak Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. These names likely represent collectives of herbalists and surgeons who advanced medical science beyond rigid caste barriers. Their relentless curiosity laid the foundation of Ayurveda, enriched by interactions with Buddhist practitioners and forest-dwelling communities. Despite resistance from conservative Brahminical ideologies labeling doctors “impure” for treating lower castes, Indian physicians preserved their knowledge under religious pretexts. This groundbreaking Bengali study delves deeply into the evolution and resilience of ancient Indian medical science.
