The inability of women to bear children has been documented in written and oral history since the dawn of time. Very early the practice of surrogate motherhood to overcome this “curse” has been used. This practice was approved in many cultures around the world and throughout history. There are no authentic documents survived up to contemporary times. Information is to be collected from chronicles, legends, myths, epics and even the folk songs that have survived from oral transmissions from generation to generation. The concept of surrogate motherhood was well known in the ancient India. Surrogacy was known and practiced in ancient times also. Ancient Hindu scriptures stand testament to the fact that surrogacy has been very much existent in India. We could easily connect the thread of scientific achievement of surrogacy to its existence in the Indian mythology even before the scientific intellect could fathom it and proved its existence. The Hindu mythology provides examples like that of sage Bhardwaja produced Drona, later to be the teacher of Pandavas and Kaurvas. In this way, it can be said that Indian culture was very much rich regarding the aspect of surrogacy practices which were being carried out in ancient India by different names.
