Modern medical education began in Bengal with the establishment of Calcutta Medical College (CMC) in 1835. Soon it became an important centre for medical education and research in India. Chunilal Bose (1861–1930), an alumnus of CMC, worked in his alma mater as the Chemical Examiner of Bengal for more than three decades and conducted pioneering researches on toxins and poisons, food poisoning, food adulteration, diabetes, small pox, forensic science, effects of narcotics etc. His research publications appeared in reputed journals such as British Medical Journal, Transactions of the Chemical Society of London, The Indian Medical Gazette, and Calcutta Medical Journal etc. Bose was also instrumental in passing the Indian Poisons Act (1904) and in creating a public awareness against consumption of narcotics. Bose was an able science communicator of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Bengal and extensively wrote and lectured in a simple language, both in Bengali and English, on the subjects of public health and hygiene, general science and history of science that were connected to the wellbeing of the common people, with an intention of creating science awareness and scientific temper in the society. Honours and awards showered upon him during his lifetime, but Bose’s important contributions to medical sciences and science popularization were less discussed by the historians of science, as the focus generally remained on his more illustrious contemporaries. In the course of time, Chunilal Bose became a nearly forgotten scientist and a science communicator. His 160th birth anniversary was observed in 2021.

Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSF) is an age old disease. It is even mentioned by Suśruta, one of the earliest surgeons of the recorded history (600 BCE) in his book in Suśrutasaṃhitā. OSF is Areca nut (Areca Catechu Linn.) habit associated disease and more prevalent in countries where the use of this nut is high. In Southeast Asian countries it is widely used due to their high cultural beliefs. The pathogenesis of this age old irreversible disease is very complex, that none of the treatment modalities till date has provided satisfactory results. In this article, insight to Areca nut native, cultivation and cultural aspects, the psychology behind its use in various cultures and review of current medical literature is attempted to trace back the history of OSF.
