Beautiful Body: A History of Plastic Surgery


Ancient India: The Birthplace of Plastic Surgery

"The Indian Method of Rhinoplasty," which involved cutting skin from the forehead or cheek, was kept secret for centuries in India

Most historians agree that the first recorded account of reconstructive plastic surgery on the living is found in ancient Indian Sanskrit texts. These texts describe procedures to repair noses and ears that were lost either as punishment for crimes (such as adultery) or in battle. Hindu surgeon Sushruta, working near the modern-day city of Varanasi described the “attached flap” method of plastic surgery in his 600 B.C. text Sushruta Samhita. The procedure involves reconstructing the nose by cutting skin from either the cheek or forehead, twisting the skin skin-side-out over a leaf of the appropriate size, and sewing the skin into place. To keep the air passages open during healing, two polished wooden tubes would be inserted into the nostrils. This method became known as the “Indian Method of Rhinoplasty” and was kept secret for centuries in India (Haiken 1997).

No not the "Indian method" the "Indus method". "Indian" is a term the British invented. "Indus" refers to the area of modern day Pakistan and its civilization not the "Indian" or Hindustani civilizations.

The world's first dock at Lothal (2400 BCE)

Was located away from the main current to avoid deposition of silt.[1] Modern oceanographers have observed that the Harappans must have possessed great knowledge relating to tides in order to build such a dock on the ever-shifting course of the Sabarmati, as well as exemplary hydrography and maritime engineering.[1] This was the earliest known dock found in the world, equipped to berth and service ships.[1] It is speculated that Lothal engineers studied tidal movements, and their effects on brick-built structures, since the walls are of kiln-burnt bricks.[2] This knowledge also enabled them to select Lothal's location in the first place, as the Gulf of Khambhat has the highest tidal amplitude and ships can be sluiced through flow tides in the river estuary.[2] The engineers built a trapezoidal structure, with north-south arms of average 21.8 metres (71.5 ft), and east-west arms of 37 metres (121 ft).[2]

I am not fighting over what belong to India or Pakistan because all these inventions took place when Pakistan, Bangladesh, India did not even exited as separate/independent countries. So comment of mark twain was not for modern India but was for all India, Pakistan, Bangladesh

then tell me from where did the word BHARAT came from. in ancient hindu texts, word bharat exists (tough word hindu doesn't exist but thats a complete different argument).

as i earlier said, bharat has always been a concept and land of those ppl who followed that ideology. now span of those ppl has decreased from whole subcontinent to current india. thats where you get the concept of akhand bharat. its the same land i am talking bout.

only these fundamentalist hindus are fools enough to get stuck with land area of akhand bharat rather than real meaning of it.

hence in current pakistan, theres no follower of the ideology(read majority), hence that piece of land cannot be called Bharat. thats my argument against akhand bharat.

now if the parameter is religion, then indus valley civilization doesn't belong to you. it belong to hindus.

and according to constitution of India, the word "Hindu" is also attributed to all persons professing any other Indian religion

Originally, Hindu was a secular term which was used to describe all inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent (or Hindustan) irrespective of their religious affiliation.

well, i dud rather prefer, Bharti method, coz word bharat always existed. even ur claim of Indus method came from british.

it should be 'Sindhu' method from which the word Hindu came.

Nope Indus valley is in Pakistan, it is a separate civilization unique to modern day Pakistani civilizations. Due to confusion and usury of the name INDia derived from the Pakistani area of INDus, people make the mistakes and think its all the same.

With you line of argument even Bangladeshis who live 800+ miles away from Pakistan and site of IVC should be given credit for IVC. Just because BD is apart of the "Indian subcontinent" Now that's insane.

You are rite. well its all very deep you see. as i said somewhere in other post that the word hindu never comes in ancient india texts. I even said that Concept of India is 'THAT LAND MASS WHERE FOLLOWER OF A PARTICULAR IDEOLOGY RESIDE'. it was true till no other ideology came. then came buddhism, jainism, sikhism, islam and hence to segregate the ancient ideology, hinduism became a religion which earlier was a way of life. actually, the religion of ancient bharat is called SANATAN.
