Satiranjan Sen joined as a Research Scholar in Cheena Bhavana, Visva-Bharati in 1943 and became a Junior Research Fellow under the Chinese Government Cultural Fellowship. He was sent by the Indian Government to Beijing University for further Chinese studies. He founded Cheen Bharat Sanskriti in Calcutta and made valuable contribution on China studies in India.
v2.c15.s2.t76.2
Sen translated into English two medical texts of which the Sanskrit originals were lost. They are only preserved in old translations. It was published in ‘Visva-Bharati Annals, Vol: I, 1945’. His critical study of the texts shows that at least one of them represented a school different from the Charaka and Sushruta. His another book ‘Huang Ti Nei Ching’ (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine) was translated from original Chinese into English with an introductory study.
