    Indian Journal of History of Science, 54.1 (2019) 35-49 DOI: 10.16943/ijhs/2019/v54i1/49596 U N Brahmachari: Scientific Achievements and Nomination for the Nobel Prize and the Fellowship of the Royal Society of London Rajinder Singh* and Syamal Roy** (Received 30 July 2018) Abstract Bengal produced a number of high rank scientists, but ignored their history. One such unsung hero is Upendra Nath Brahmachari (1873–1946). Brahmachari discovered pentavalent antimonials, Urea Stibamine for the treatment of kala-azar in 1922 long before the discovery of penicillin. In the history of chemotherapy his contribution stands as major landmark. The drug effectively countered the epidemic of kala-azar during the late twentieth century in the vast track of the Gangetic plain and the Brahmaputra valley. The discovery testifies the monument of labor, knowledge and amply rewarded the clinical success it had attained. He was nominated for the Fellowship of the Royal Society of London, as well as Nobel Prize. The present communication1 gives a short review about his life and scientific work. Key words: Dermal leishmanoid, Kala-azar, Leishmania donovani, Urea Stibamine. 1. INTRODUCTION Even today kala-azar is one of the most dangerous diseases in the world (Fig. 1). Recent studies show that about 60,000 patients die annually (Haldar, 2011). A number of articles deal with the history of the disease (Thakur, 2013; Brahmachari, 1928, pp. 2–5; Gibson, 1983; Shrott, 1945; Murry, 2000; Roy, 2010, pp. 33–66; Dutta, 2003 & 2008). Fig. 1.

It was registered under the Societies Act in the then princely state of Mysore and the memorandum of registration was signed by the late Profs. V. Subramanian, V. N. Patwardhan and C. V. Natarajan, who were leading personalities in the scientific firmament during that period. The Society played a crucial role during the Second World War by advising the Government on the utilization of indigenous biomaterials as food substitutes, drugs and tonics, on the industrial and agricultural waste utilization and on management of water resources. The other areas of vital interest to the Society in the early years were nutrition, proteins, enzymes, applied microbiology, preventive medicines and the development of high quality proteins from indigenous plant sources.

    Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Research Foundation 2nd Bankim Chandra Chaopadhyay Memorial Oraon by Prof. Bibek Debroy Chairman, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India on Vision of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat in the Bengal Renaissance Perspectives from History & Literature Date: 9th July 2020 hank you, my dear friend Dr. Anirban Ganguly for having invited me. I am particularly honoured because this is only the second Memorial Oration in memory of Bankim Chandra TChattopadhyay. In the title of the Talk, and the mentioned names and expressions, we have Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee (after whom SPMRF is named), Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, Bengal Renaissance and Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. I will try to touch upon all these individuals and all these expressions, beginning with Bengal Renaissance. I may sometimes slip into a little bit of Bengali. But please be reassured that if I do quote in Bengali, I will do my best to also translate it. Renaissance of course means rebirth. The expression Bengal Renaissance was coined with an obvious allusion to the Italian Renaissance. The Bengal Renaissance is characterized by almost a revolution in the domains of culture and society and in intellectual and artistic pursuits, such as in literature. How does one date the Bengal Renaissance? In his book, “History of the Bengali-speaking People”, Dr Nitish Sengupta defined the Bengal Renaissance as the period from Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1772-1833) to Rabindranath Tagore (1861- 1941). This is a very long time-frame. Whenever people write about the Bengal renaissance, a lot of emphasis is placed on the Tagore family, which is of course, right.

    Development of Indigenous Modern Science and Technology in Colonial India Arka Acharjee Assistant Professor of History, A.B.N.Seal College, Cooch Behar, W.B. Colonialism is a very important process and its consequences are deep-routed, huge and also in far remote level. In a colonial country like India the direct influence of colonialist hegemony falls upon its society, economy, politics, education etc. But the field of science and technology is also not an exceptional field. Britain very effectively and cleverly used the tool ‘science and technology’ to penetrate into the interior region in India by constructing Schools, text books about modern science, Railways, Modern Postal System, Telegraph etc. By using these tools the British succeeded to create an astonishing admiration into the mind of the common people of India about the field of western science and technology. But the educated Indians received this modern concept with various thrusting stage. In Indian Historiography there is a general tendency of highlighting the political, social and economic field of India under colonial rule but the practice of indigenous science and technology and its development in colonial rule is not so much highlighted issue. So through this article one attempt has been made to ventilate the views about the origin and development of indigenous modern science and technology in colonial India. Debate regarding the emergence of modern science in India: There is a serious question arises here regarding the actual time of the emergence of modern science in India. In search of the answer from this question we found two important concepts in this much related issue- I.

The present paper aims to highlight the development of indigenous pharmaceutical companies within the milieu of hegemony or counter-hegemony of western scientific influence versus our national scientific endeavour. The objectives of the present attempt are- 1) what kind of historical consciousness and socio-political interconnectivity lead to the development of indigenous pharmaceuticals in colonial Calcutta, 2) how the advent of western medicine inspired our nationalist entrepreneurs for the development of indigenous pharmaceuticals in colonial Calcutta and finally 3) the beginning and development of oldest indigenous pharmaceutical Butto Krishna Paul & Co. under the shadow of the colonial empire. The results show that the development of the indigenous pharmaceutical companies in colonial Bengal can be seen as a specific wave of cultural response to modern science which was to pave the national scientific spirit in colonial India. Key words: Calcutta, Colonialism, Indigenous science, Pharmaceuticals. 1. INTRODUCTION economic interests of the colonizers. The health “………….

India though possessing a hoary and ancient civilisation is not old and effete, as her detractors would hold but Swami Vivekananda believed that she was young, ripe with potentiality and strong at the beginning of the twentieth century. Swami Vivekananda belonged to the 19th century, yet his message and his life are more relevant today than in the past and perhaps, will be more relevant in future because persons like Swami Vivekananda do not cease to exist with their physical death. Their influence and their thought, the work which they initiate, go on gaining momentum as years pass by, and ultimately, reach a fulfillment which these persons envisaged. Swami Vivekanand himself had said “it may be that I shall find it good to get outside my body to cast it off like a worn out garment but I shall not cease to work! I shall inspire men everywhere, until the world shall know that it is one with god.” The process of this inspiration is spreading all over the world.
