  • Abstract:
  • The current paper aims to highlight the life and achievements of Hakim Ajmal Khan (1868-1927), a pioneer Unani physician involved in India's freedom struggle. Born in 1868 into a family of prominent Unani physicians, he worked tirelessly to revive and modernise traditional medicine while also actively taking part in the national liberation struggle. The paper chronicles his rise from successful practicing physician to one of the most prominent figures in the Indian independence movement, focusing on his efforts to integrate Unani medicine with modern scientific practices and promote Hindu-Muslim unity. The establishment of Tibbia College, his involvement with the Muslim League and the Indian National Congress, as well as his participation in the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements, prove his diverse contributions to India's medical, educational, and political landscape at a critical juncture in its history.
