Abstract

In ancient India, chemistry was called “Rasayana” in Sanskrit, the language in vogue. Rasayana derived its name from “Rasa,” which means “extract,” maybe from roots, leaves, and stems of plants. Ancient India's development in chemistry was not confined but found development in a variety of practical activities. In any early civilization, metallurgy has remained an activity from the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, to all other civilizations that followed.
