Ancient India had aeroplanes, nuclear weapons, says chief of India's premier history body

[Pakistani E]

Where can i read more of this "theory" about ancient weapons? Like schematics, dates and alike?

This is a serious question, as i'm doing some hobby research into history of man. Specifically the era's mentioned here, 5000BC and earlier.

probably here...

Science fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Pakistani E]

So what were they, Arab terrorists?

Dacoits , Looteras , rapist and criminals???

Probably some peaceful village folks who didn't smoke too much strong stuff like the guys sitting across the border.

No wonder why LCA is still unable to go into production...are they still using the ancient technology....hahahaahahahahaa

And people want to associate themselves with Indian culture, India's rich history but ashamed of accepting the two language Sanskrit and sanga Tamil on which our 10000 year history is.

And those who call Sanskrit and Sanga tamil as Hindu, you guys are simply misguided western followrs.

Well Buddhism also has lot of things in sanscit, so do the Jain's.

Well unfortunately the bible was not written in sanscrit else our seculars would have accepted it .

Don't sang a Tamil, the old litratur talks about a pandya land swallowed by sea, go to google earth and look below kanyakumari, you will know what it is, it is dated around 12000/years ago.



Well as per Missionaries , our ancestors are sinners, well when our ancestors were having greatest civilication these European were still cave men..

Ancient india also had

Apple ipods
Kindles
Samsung flat screen TVs
Tumble dryers (which the ancient indians called humble hyers)
Digital radios
Vibrators
Gran Turismo 6

Scriptures reveal ancient hindus also
Invented Rap and hip hop and used to lay down some tunes whilst twerking which they also invented and Miley Cyrus stole

 

[Pakistani E]

lol.. u are so misguided soul.

That is not related to the topic we are discussing. I have read the achievements of the ancients from Greece to China and yes India. I agree there are many things that these people had discovered before that we are just re discovering. I agree they were far ahead of many civilisations even today.

But you are seriously expecting me to believe that people in India were experimenting with Nuclear devices? Do you even understand what it takes to produce a nuclear reaction? or the capabilities required to deliver the warhead?

 

[k7x]

Please, put down the pipe it makes you paranoid.

That's an expected reaction..

Well earth is spread like a carpet right?

Well we did not have that , but for sure we knew the diameter of earth and of course the earth is not flat like a carpet.

And thru silk route the knowledgesharing between China and India always happend,

Also folks in middle east got to know about some of those from us

Evidence The HINDU Arabic numeric system.. Read again it was HINDU arabic numeric system, don't know what it is, look at your keyboard

So you accept you smoke some really strong and your only defence of your fantasy based science is an attack on the questioners religion. AHAHAHAHA, thank you for accepting you have no way of defending this pseudo science except fancy statements.

 

[Pakistani E]

may be not in a way you understand.
plz educate us all. what it takes to have nuclear reaction, and about missiles or fighter jets.(delivery capabilities)

The onus of justifying and giving evidence is on your shoulders. You guys have said that this was done in Ancient India, now if you were really publishing this stuff in any credible journal you would be expected to provide evidence of these statements. Why do you expect me to give you an answer to a statement that you have made without any evidence?

 

[hussain0216]

If ancient india had jet fighters how come you fuckef up so badly on the Lca and kaverie

When a nation is injected with the deadly cocktail composed of the so-called nationalism and religious extremism, you get you hear all sort of delusional comments even from learned folks.

At any rate a better question to ask would be, how were they so badly screwed up first by the Afghans and later by the Mughals.

 

[syedali73]

Atleast the concept of Destructive weapons, flying Vimana, powerfull medicinal herbs existed in ancient India. Though the presence of weapons may or may not be true.

Only in India? What about ancient Greece or Egypt?

These guys are making fool of themselves and also reducing the image of the heritage infront of the world.
There must be concrete evidence to prove the incidents that are mentioned in the epics.
India contributed in science, astronomy, maths, medicine and spirituality, These guys should concentrate on these things which are having proofs and will improve the image of India as a cradle of civilization.

Indians were flying aeroplanes, carrying out stem cell research and may even have been using cosmic weapons 5,000 years ago, according to the chairman of India's leading historical organisation.

Professor Y Sudershan Rao, the head of the Indian Council of Historical Research, has been criticized by fellow historians for comments that Hindu epics are adequate to understand the ancient world, rather than relying on evidence or research.

The Hindu nationalist government appointed Rao to the prestigious academic post soon after winning the biggest landslide in three decades, fuelling concerns of a push to teach the superiority of Hindu values and mythology at the cost of academic rigour, and cutting against the grain of secularism that runs through multi-faith modern India.

"We have so many proofs that these events happened," Rao, 69, said in an interview, describing events in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, the ancient Hindu epics about love and war, truth and deceit, that feature characters using inextinguishable fire and weapons with the destructive power of a nuclear arsenal.

Similar views have won support from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and in part reflect a belief that India's history books are beholden to colonial powers, foreign invaders and Marxists.

While there is debate over the exact age of the Hindu epics, historians say they were probably written at least two millennia ago. Rao says this in itself is proof the texts are factual because humans did not develop the art of fiction writing until a few centuries back.

Many academics are horrified by such views, and describe his appointment as a blow for the history organisation set up four decades ago to guide research and hand out grants. They point to signs of a broader plan to bring more Hinduism to the classroom through changes to the curriculum.

Two Indian states run by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party have recruited controversial Hindu nationalist Dinanath Batra to advise on writing textbooks.

In June, thousands of schools in Gujarat were given textbooks by Batra that claimed cars were invented in ancient India and told children to draw an enlarged nation to include countries including Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Teachers at Batra's organisation say they want the books to be in every school.

"The lessons from today's history books are that Indians are nothing and good for nothing," said Atul Kothari, secretary of Batra's Shiksha Bachao Andolan Samiti, or Save the Education Movement. "The truth is that historically we have been a far superior race."

Education Minister Smriti Irani, a former soap actress, declined to comment on what revisions will be included in a review of the curriculum planned next year.

The last time the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party was in power a decade ago it began to rewrite school books in line with Hindu-nationalist orthodoxy.

When the rival Congress party came back to power it rewrote the books again. Academics say the loser in all this are confused, and sometimes ill-informed, school children.

Modi is the first prime minister to publicly back the view that holy texts show many discoveries of modern science were made by ancient Indians. He told an audience of doctors last month that the Hindu god Ganesh's head was evidence of ancient plastic surgery. A warrior the Mahabharata describes as born outside his mother's womb was a test-tube baby, Modi said.

"These claims can be interpreted as signs of an inferiority complex," said Romila Thapar, a leading scholar on ancient India. "The most disturbing thing is that many people accept this without questioning it," said Thapar, whose books one BJP leader has said should be burned.
