Speaking in Agartal at the regional conference on computerization and reform implementation, Chief Minister of the northeastern state of Tripura Biplap Kumar Deb announced that the Internet and space satellites were invented long before the advent of Western civilization, "hundreds of thousands of years ago."
The scientific and technological revolution, which had a significant impact on the development of mankind, took place in India in ancient times and found its reflection in the ancient Indian epic "Mahabharata".
One of the central events, the description of which occupies more than a quarter of the text, is the Battle of Kurukshetra. The battle took place in the interfluve for 18 days, numerous armies took part in it.
One of the main characters of the literary monument is a charioteer named Sanjaya, who could fly across the sky. And when the blind king Dhritrashtra refuses to personally observe the battle with the help of a special "divine vision", Sanjaya becomes his confidant.
Using a magic device, he monitors all events on the battlefield and even hears the conversations of the knights online. The 46-year-old official considers all this information to be proof of advanced technologies of antiquity.

The minister was bombarded with accusations of lack of necessary knowledge and inadequacy for the position held. In response, Biplap Kumar Deb called his critics limited people: “Several European countries and the United States claim that the modern communication system was their invention.
Not. All of this was invented here, and all these technologies were with us in ancient times. " The official also addressed his compatriots: “It is difficult for narrow-minded people to believe this, they want to belittle their own nation and highly value other countries. Believe in the truth. Don't confuse or confuse others."
I was not at all surprised by the one-sided reaction of the world media. No one is in a hurry to laugh and make caustic remarks when it comes to images of flying vehicles among the artifacts of Ancient Egypt. Why, then, the right of the eastern peninsula to a unique historical heritage is viewed with hostility by journalists?..
The Western Internet community, brought up on the ideas of the superiority of its nation over all others, accustomed to dividing the countries of the world into "first, second and third" and still considers India its former colony, does not accept such statements in principle. The idea of Africa as the cradle of humanity, actively promoted by Western and pro-Western scientists, is popularized at an incredible pace.
Why are so many films made in Hollywood about Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome? Because Western Europe and the United States, roughly speaking, consider themselves their legitimate heirs. That is why everything that concerns Africa is sacred, solid and unshakable. Read any news between the lines.
It was African sailors (ancestors of the great Europeans) who first discovered America. Roman generals (ancestors of the great Europeans) are examples of valor. I think that the list of great achievements should not be continued. All other countries - somewhere out there, outside the brackets, at the bottom of the hierarchical ladder, in the tail of the line, ran in skins after mammoths, when - the ancestors of the great Europeans - the ancient Greeks created the foundations of modern sciences.
Don't rush to join the crowd running to throw stones at the "uneducated" Indian. Give each country its small right to a place in the sun. Do you think the Indian minister is a nationalist? No, he is a rebel, and this is his form of protest against Western narcissism. Asia is tired of being a dependent satellite and living under the dictation of the United States; it wants equality and autonomy in decision making. A new era is coming. If only no one plays too much and does not feel "more equal than others" - otherwise, only legends similar to "Mahabharata" will remain from this civilization.
