When India emerged as the world's vaccine manufacturer during the pandemic, few knew an even more startling truth: the concept of vaccination itself originated in ancient India centuries before Europe. This eye-opening narrative shatters long-held beliefs about medical history.Through a warm, witty story of a modern Indian family, Shitala uncover how traditional Hindu practices of smallpox inoculation were observed - and quietly appropriated - by colonial powers. This isn't just about vaccination; it's about how colonial narratives systematically erased Indian contributions to one of humanity's greatest achievements.Written with engaging simplicity, this short but powerful book brings alive a forgotten chapter of medical history. Perfect for young adults and anyone interested in understanding how the past shapes our present, it's a must-read that will make you question everything you thought you knew about the history of medicine.This is more than a historical correction. It is a game-changing perspective on India's erased role in one of humanity's greatest medical breakthroughs.
