Did you know that India performed surgeries over 2,600 years ago?
This painting shows Acharya Sushruta, the legendary ancient Indian physician, performing one of the first recorded surgical operations. Known as the Father of Surgery, Sushruta lived around 600 BCE and authored the Sushruta Samhita, an ancient Sanskrit text on medicine and surgery.
In this scene, Sushruta and his disciples are seen operating on a patient using tools that resemble modern surgical instruments — scalpels, forceps, and scissors.
He pioneered procedures like cataract surgery, plastic surgery, and cesarean operations, long before such practices were known in the Western world.
The knowledge passed down in Ayurveda and surgical techniques from Sushruta shaped the foundation of Indian medicine.
This 🎨 is a powerful reminder:
👉 India’s scientific knowledge was centuries ahead of its time.
