Ancient India Had Planes: Controversial Claim At Science Congress

[Guynextdoor2]

One of the oldest and prestigious Science Congresses in the world, actually.

When was the last time such an event took place in your place(wherever that may be)?

I opened a thread today asking for the science congress to be renamed Bhakt Congress

Indian Bhakt Congress

The papers are with HAL. Besides there are many designs - only one lasted for 37 seconds. IISc studied and concluded that almost all are aerodynamically bogus. But exceptions are there.

We are talking about heavier than air travel.

In fact check this out - the list is pretty large ...

IISc specifically studied this supposed flying machine and concluded this was bogus too. Won't stop @$$holes from Bollywood to make a movie on the same.

Jab elephant wala bhagwan ho sakt@ hai to ye kiyoo nhi hhahahaahahah

Jab Jannat me Adam or Eve ho sakte hain jo Apple kha ke dharti pe aate hain, to ye kyon nahi ho sakta

Not all were bogus. The Vaimanik Shastra was a book written in 1920s with little scientific relevance. But there were other books that had sound designs, theoretically. Read the PDFs ... on mobile now....pretty interesting.

one day India would say King Soloman was Indian and the Flying Carpet in the tales
"One Thousand and One Nights"
is also Indian creation to fly.

I feel sorry for Indians. This is the official mantra at the highest level now.

India will rediscover her ancient secrets and become a superpower by 2020!

modi ji will make us super power

modi ji can travel faster than light

modi ji can manipulate time

modi ji does not poop, he works so hard it all gets consumed and burnt by his super vedic digestive system

Jitni discussion is forum me in funny claims ki hoti utni toh ISRO ki achievements ki bhi nahin hoti. Sometimes I wonder ye defence forum hai ya religious history forum.

 

[ACE OF THE AIR]

The Indians had invented aircraft but they got no bicycles.

This is a sensational place. One where emotions and sentiments rule instead of rationale. For a more unromantic look at the Indian Science Congress check this -

I was talking about the aircraft that is being referred to in 'Hawaizada'.

neither, it's mostly troll/counter troll type stuff.

I hope they are uploaded. The newspapers are purposely ignoring the other work done there,and promoting just govt hatred. It's quite sad to see hatred of BJP become hatred of the establishment (and even going to the extent of providing **** versions of events in CT ops).

Anyway on topic of ISRO, they actually had a very busy booth:

These are mostly myth and stories created to entertain people about Vedic period. Even Greeks and Italians do not believe in their myths as actual history. India and especially Hindus feel a need to create history based on myths.

basis of many religion lies in myth and impossible feats eg.. dividing sea, back from dead, flying horses etc

Actually the first flight happened in 1895 -

Too bad it lasted only 37 seconds. The Wrights made stabler flying machines.

Overall the Science Congress was extremely successful and it was packed!

This has piqued my interest. Will have to look into it.

Been looking for the translation of Vymanika shastra, but ONLY found many vedic translations of Astronomy,universe and quantum physics in recent book fair translated by sanskrit pandits.
Its better to learn Sanskrit oneself and read those texts, but those Vymanika shastra texts are not found anywhere except in Maharasthra which is said to be in a museum.
