The recent discovery/inventions of Indian Prime Minister which endorse that cosmetic surgery and reproductive genetics were practiced thousands of years ago in India and as a proof he was giving examples of the warrior karna from the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata and of the elephant-headed Hindu god Ganesha.
This is not the first time Mr.Modi highlighting such stories, even when he was the CM he has mentioned that Hindu God Rama flew the first aeroplane (even this was a false information because it was not hindu god rama who flew but it was dravidian king "ravana" who actually flew the first flight according to Ramayana) and that stem cell technology was known in ancient India.
Such messages are usually forwarded and shared in social media sites like Facebook, twitter and mainly in what’s up, by the Hindu rightwing, school going adolescent youngsters very often who don't have any empirical evidences for such theories but simply spread hoax mythological stories!!!
Till date
these creative imaginative stories have not been substantiated by any one but
were discarded. And the sad part is that they were never ever was considered
under "fantasy or science fiction genres even!!!
My concern
is that, our mythological folklores have far better imaginative stories, to
name a few A la Modi, in Mahabharata; Drithurashtra watched a live telecast of
the "war" in his courtyard.
This
gives us an idea that we had live telecast facility and also the then media was
very courageous and fear free to do a live coverage of an ongoing war!!!!
Characters
in Mahabharata have constantly connected and spoken to each other with a lap
top like machine with a Skype like technology!!!!!
Whenever
Arjuna hit an arrow it was immediately disarmed by karna in the air itself!!!!
This probably could be the mother of the latest missile diffusing technology!
So we
have ample stories like this to which Modi should try to find scientifical back
up for such ideas and substantiate with proofs and present it to his
fellow Indians and to the entire Globe.
But Modi
with all due respect to his designation, talks and propagating like a high
school lad who share and forward all imaginative stories as proud “made in
India" messages.
There
used to be a joke about a smart Indian, where his friends of different
nationality invent different newer products but this clever Indian smartly printed
“made in India" in all those products!!!!
We believe
and hope that Modi should stop behaving like the one above!!!
