Soft cover. Zustand: New. Ayurveda enjoys a growing global appeal, and is often touted as true and time-tested by contemporary political actors, governments, social groups, practitioners and NGOs in India. With indigenous healing systems enjoying increasing state support today, an examination of the socio-political aspects of medicine, in particular Ayurveda, and its role in nation-building is critically important. Ayurveda, Nation and Society, the latest in Orient BlackSwan s New Perspectives in South Asian History series, captures the late nineteenth and early twentieth century growth of medical nationalism through the Ayurvedic revivalist movement in the United Provinces, and observes the ensuing change and continuity in the attitude towards indigenous medicine in independent India. The volume critiques the casteist, communal, class- and gender-biased social culture inherent in Ayurvedic discourse of the period under discussion, and notes how the constant blaming of the Other for spreading diseases detrimental to the Hindu male reveals that proponents of Ayurveda were actively involved in both the reconstruction of a tradition and of the society and nation . The volume also examines the Ayurvedic print and drug market to study the commercialisation of the health discourse and healing practices, with the help of diverse sources such as hitherto untapped vernacular texts like Ayurvedic journals and pamphlets, literary interventions, along with field interviews of practising Ayurvedic healers and shopkeepers. The author also demonstrates how, despite co-opting several traits of Western medicine, Ayurvedic practitioners have often failed to imbibe one of its central tenets the spirit of rigorous enquiry/experiment.
