About the book :
The History of Hindu Chemistry is one of the rare, important books published in twentieth century. Acharya Sir Prafulla Chandra Ray, the author of this book, who was a chemist by profession, has contributed greatly to the field of Rasashastra in his own style. The book was originally published n two volumes is in English and achieved international recognition.
The work became the cause of enlightening people specially, the Westerners about Indian Alchemy which, they were till then unaware of. Acharya Ray has touched almost every area of Rasashastra of course, from the standpoint of modern Chemistry. A critical analysis of his contributions, the narration of the contents of the book are detailed in the paper.
India’s ancient scientific world was never greedy and were not at all keen to utilise their inventions for monetary benefits. P.C.Ray was very much interested to study the development process of science in India. This book throws light on the treasure of our ancient science.
