India has encountered several epidemics and pandemics throughout history. This review article talks about such outbreaks known to have occurred in the 19th-21st century and are arranged in accordance to chronology. For this review, a variety of sources were used by searching through PubMed, NCBI and several others. Different forms of prints such as books, websites, and journals were used as references in this article. The necessity to review this title is because the information is scattered and to source them and compile them into a single article could help the medical practitioners and healthcare workers to understand what this country has been through in the past and what reforms have to be made by them, the community and the government in preventing such outbreaks in the future.
