About the Book
This book examines the growth of medical systems in India and the role of physicians within society. It evaluates the impact of the European entrance into India, showing how it led to the establishment of a new medical system and influenced the training of vaidyas and hakims in the early centuries of colonial contact.
By exploring social, cultural, and linguistic dimensions of medicine, the volume draws on medical literature and texts in Sanskrit, Arabic, and Persian from the eleventh to nineteenth centuries. It traces the interactions, transformations, and continuities in indigenous medical practices, providing an essential resource for scholars of history, medicine, and colonial studies.
