Haematology research in India is relatively recent in origin. However the pioneers in the field not only did exemplary work when compared to advanced western countries, they also made it a point to develop centres of excellence and human resources for future of haematology work in this country. In this brief overview an effort has been made to give a taste of quality and expanse of haematology research in this country. This review does not claim to have described every bit of haematology research in this country. Our pioneers worked under extremely difficult and trying circumstances on a subject which was limited to funding available from Indian Council of Medical Research. Now the times have changed, several funding agencies in the country are able to provide substantial fund for research. Modern state of the art basic research institutions are tying up with medical colleges for good quality research and the seeds which our pioneers had planted have grown into a mighty tree. It would not be an exaggeration to say we are on the threshold of the golden era of haematology research in this country.
印度的血液学研究起步相对较晚。然而，该领域的先驱们所做的工作堪称典范，与西方发达国家相比毫不逊色。他们还特别注重为该国血液学工作的未来发展卓越中心和培养人力资源。在这篇简要概述中，我们努力展现该国血液学研究的质量和广度。本综述并不声称涵盖了该国血液学研究的方方面面。我们的先驱们在极其困难和艰苦的条件下开展工作，研究主题仅依赖于印度医学研究理事会提供的资金。如今时代已变，国内几家资助机构能够为研究提供大量资金。现代先进的基础研究机构正与医学院合作开展高质量研究，我们先驱们种下的种子已长成参天大树。毫不夸张地说，我们正处在该国血液学研究黄金时代的开端。
