A History of Indian Medical Literature v1.c6.22

v1.c6.22

Outstanding and of the first rank among the publications in Hindī is Priyavrat Śarmā’s *Āyurved kā vaijñānik itihās* (1975). As indicated in its title, this comprehensive survey of medical literature gives evidence of a scientific attitude. For that reason, it is the one I most frequently refer to. The numerous books and articles by its industrious and prolific author have been a constant source of inspiration to me. In spite of my disagreement with opinions expressed by P.V. Sharma, he remains the Indian scholar I most esteem and admire.
