Title in ENGLISH : The book focuses not only on the growth of medical systems in the subcontinent but also on physicians' standing in Indian society. Evaluating the impact of Europeans' entrance into India, the volume argues that this arrival resulted in the establishment of a new medical system and sheds light on the training offered to vaidyas and hakims in the early centuries following the former's arrival. This book examines the social, cultural and linguistic facets of medicine that influenced these indigenous systems. Exploring medical literature and other texts in Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian from the eleventh to the nineteenth centuries, this work traces the interactions and changes in the components and practice of medicine.
