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

Muslims may have discovered America. The evidence is not yet there. But the evidence countering that is also not there. They may have. They may not have. Not defending Erdogan, never have, but just saying - a possibility can't be dismissed so easily just because it goes against the current of the time.

I agree it is a possibility, but the onus is on the individuals making the claim to prove their case.

The Europeans have established that a European (disagreements over which one notwithstanding) landed on the shores of the Americas and X point in history. Now it is time for those who argue that a 'Muslim explorer preceded the Europeans' to substantiate their claims.

This is what you get when you make a nutter like Y Sudershan Rao head of the ICHR.

She was eventually fired for feeling up one of the guys in my class while pretending to make him tuck his shirt into his pants.

I tried it all , left my shirt out of my trousers , even left my fly open a couple of times , but No teacher ever , fu-cki-ng ever , tried to ` tuck ` my blo-ody shirt in. But then again I went to the wrong school , run by Nuns

I wonder if ancient Indian were so smart then how modern age Indian got so dumb.

Just Google and understand mythology and myth. It was fiction written by valmiki who was a thug on trade route so he knew weird places and their names

There were no previous civilizations more advanced then the present ones.
Humans are the only intelligent species in the universe.
Earth is the center of the world.
Earth is flat.
Humans are most intelligent.

It seems to be today's humans think of themselves as the most advanced and most intelligent species created in all time (since beginning of time) and space (whole Universe) that has ever existed. lolzzzz, That is why some humans out-rightly reject any idea that there could have or could be things more advanced then what exists now.

if i am asked "does intelligent life exist elsewhere"... i always say... "i don't know... we must travel and find out".

and you have a tardis in your profile picture... do you really believe in time-travel ( i don't )... if so, what is your promoted method??

there was a hilarious Dawn News satire which covered this partially.....

Modi’s mythologies - Newspaper - DAWN.COM


a small excerpt:


Dig a little and you’ll find many similar and very earnest pieces detailing how aeroplanes and nuclear weapons are referred to in the Vedas and so on and so forth.

This is pretty standard stuff, of course, and you’ll also find lots of books arguing how the pyramids were built by aliens (along with Stonehenge). By and large, these aren’t taken very seriously. By and large.

The book went back on the shelf as an interestingly hilarious piece one might dig out on a day when the funny pages weren’t available, and there it stayed until quite recently a news item caused me to exhume it.

This was a speech by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Mumbai where he claimed that Lord Ganesh having an elephant’s head on a human body was proof that advanced genetic engineering existed in ancient India.

He also claimed that Lord Rama travelled in an aeroplane and that the legend of Karna who “was not born from his mother’s womb” meant that “genetic science was present at that time. That is why Karna could be born outside his mother’s womb”.

Modi, while he is also prime minister of a country making some serious strides in space technology, is also quite clearly a believer in the Dinanath Batra school of thought. This latter worthy, a RSS ideologue, is the man responsible for getting Penguin India to pulp Wendy Doninger’s book The Hindus: an alternative history.

Unfortunately some people think it is their birth right to offend others religion and ancient scripture, however not able to digest a modest criticism of theirs.

Well ancient indian science is usually in sanscrit text as far as India is concerned. It need not be religious, though the religious epics use lot of scintific knowledge.

The man who first blasted the atom bomb Oppenheimer once said, this his is the fist blast in modern time. I.e he believed man knew about it and used it in past ancient time.

It is not that difficult..Well take certain weight of highly enriched radioactive substance it will blast on its own.

Who knows, when nalanda university was burnt down by a moron what other important things were lost

Looking at threads like this, and the supporting comments makes me believe the reason for the IQ of general populace is lingering around 80.
