Abstract
Dr. Ashok D.B. Vaidya, the stalwart in the fields of Experimental Pharmacology, Clinical Pharmacology, and Reverse
Pharmacology turns 75 on Nov, 27, 2011. A former Clinical Research Head of CIBA Geigy Research Centre, his name has
been synonymous with the concept of the Golden Triangle for resurgence of Ayurveda and its reinterpretation in modern
scientific terms. At a time when most fields are populated by intellectual dwarfs and unethical operators, he stands like
a giant—a scientist, a philosopher, and an ardent fighter for ethical values. In this free-wheeling interview with Ravindra
R.Pandharinath, he discusses the milestones in his life, his inspirations, and dreams for the confluence of modern science,
modern medicine, and Ayurveda as the new health care model for the 21st century
