Hi Riju da, Hope you're doing well. Thanks again for your earlier book suggestions on Ajanta and Ellora—they were truly enriching. Lately, I’ve developed an interest in Sushruta and came across The Quest Sushruta by Dr. Ajaya Kashyap. Would you recommend this as a good starting point, or is there another book you’d suggest for deeper insight? Looking forward to your guidance. Thanks in advance!

I believe that the best place to grasp a proper idea about Sushruta would be the primary source, i.e. Sushruta Samhita. The English translation of that text, done by Kaviraj Kunjalal Bhishagratna, is published by Motilal Banarsidass in 3 volumes. Regarding the identity of Sushruta, "A History of Indian Medical Literature Vol. 1A" edited by G. Jan Meulenbeld, would be the besr source.
All the best.
All the best.

প্রণাম নেবেন দাদা।.বাংলা বইয়ের ক্ষেত্রে, বাবু'দা আপনাকে গুরু মেনে চলতে বলেছেন। আপনাকে মাঝে মধ্যে উটকো প্রশ্ন করে বিব্রত করবো। আপাতত প্রশ্ন নারায়ণ সান্যালকে নিয়ে। প্রশ্ন এইটাই যে যে-যুগে ইন্টারনেট ছিলনা , সেখানে এই আশ্চর্য ভদ্রলোক কেমন করে নিজের রিসার্চ করতেন বলে আপনার মনে হয় স্যার ?

Thanks a lot. I was always searching using English alphabets: "Prachin Bharat" and didn't get any matching results. Would you mind if I request you to add the photo of the cover page of the book? Also, there are multiple profiles for Sukumari Bhattacharyya. Is it possible to merge those? Not sure if this is too much of work.
