The book delves into the foundational texts of Indian medicine such as the \u003cem\u003eCharak Samhita\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSushruta Samhita\u003c\/em\u003e, exploring the collective identity of these ancient medical practitioners, known as Charaka and Sushruta, rather than as individual figures. These physicians, emerging from the ranks of itinerant healers and surgeons, defied the rigid caste system of the time and played a critical role in the development of Indian medical science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Chakraborty highlights how ancient Indian medical practitioners, including Buddhist doctors and indigenous tribes, contributed to a rich repository of medical knowledge that evolved into Ayurveda. Despite opposition from the orthodox Brahmin society, which rejected the idea of lower castes engaging in healing practices, these physicians were instrumental in advancing medical science. The book explores how, in the face of social and religious barriers, ancient Indian doctors maintained and preserved their medical knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pioneering work in Bengali literature offers an in-depth examination of the evolution of ancient Indian medicine, providing a new perspective on a field that has often been overlooked in historical narratives.
