Dr. Dwarkanath Kotnis (born October 10, 1910, in Sholapur, India; died December 9, 1942) was an Indian physician who is best known for his remarkable medical service during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) in China. Dr. Kotnis was one of five Indian doctors who volunteered to assist China in its fight against Japanese aggression.
Dr. Kotnis arrived in China in 1938 and worked tirelessly in the war-torn regions, providing medical care to both Chinese soldiers and civilians. His dedication and selflessness in the face of adversity earned him immense respect and admiration from the Chinese people.
Unfortunately, Dr. Kotnis's life was cut short at the young age of 32 when he succumbed to complications from a severe case of epilepsy in 1942. His untimely death was a great loss to the medical community and to the people of China, who continue to remember and honor his contributions to this day. Dr. Kotnis remains a symbol of India-China friendship and solidarity, and his legacy serves as a testament to the enduring bonds between the two nations.
