    Podcast Episode 46 – Blindness and Incurability in Early Indian Medicine
    Jul 7 2025

    Tulika Singh discusses her work on depictions of embodiment and disorder in early Indian medical texts.


    Episode Image: This image, which has an ink inscription at the bottom stating “Perforating the Eye with a Lancet in the Left Hand,” is a pencil drawing on white paper depicting the execution of one of the procedures for couching treatment of cataracts, as observed by the surgeon Peter Breton in Calcutta in 1826. The setting for the surgery is outside, and the individuals depicted are a patient, an oculist, and an assistant, all adult males dressed in traditional Indian attire. The patient is sitting close to the ground; the oculist, wearing spectacles, is sitting in front of the patient on a slightly higher footstool, using a lancet with the left hand for the patient’s right eye, with the right hand placed on the patient’s head; and the assistant is holding the patient’s head from the back. Episode Image is from Peter Breton, Esq., “On the Native Mode of Couching,” in Transactions of the Medical and Physical Society of Calcutta, Volume 2 (Calcutta: Thacker and Co. Library, 1826).

    About our Guest

    Tulika Singh is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History, Classics, and Religion at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Tulika’s research interests include social, cultural, medical, and disability history with specialization in premodern India. She is writing her dissertation on concepts of bodies and disabilities in early India, in which she engages with the intersectionality of physical impairments and disabilities with caste/class, sex/gender, age, and religion based identities. Her research thus far has led to two peer-reviewed articles, including an upcoming one with Heidelberg Asian Studies Publishing. In recognition of Tulika’s ongoing research in disability history, UAlberta awarded her the Field Law Leilani Muir Graduate Research Fellowship (twice) and the Alberta Graduate Excellence Scholarship. In addition to academic research and service, Tulika works as a disability support worker to promote and advocate for disability awareness and justice in community.
