Major Baman Das Basu (24 March 1867 – 23 September 1930) was an Indian army physician, botanist, nationalist, historian, and writer. He resigned from the Indian Medical Service after serving in Chitral and Sudan due to the conflict with his nationalism and joined his brother Sris Chandra Basu in editing and publishing books on Hinduism from the Panini Office, Allahabad. A promoter of Indian medical traditions, he completed the botanical work begun by K.R. Kirtikar on Indian medicinal plants. Source: Wikipedia (en)
