  • Internet during the Mahabharat and Ganesh as evidence of plastic surgery - these fantastical claims of the origin of Indian science have produced much internet fun and ridicule. For the first time and speaking exclusively to NDTV, Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry Dr Venki Ramakrishnan has agreed to Reality Check all such claims in great detail.

    They would like to advertise these guys as the "success stories of Hindu India" and "glorious Hindu heritage", since all three have upper caste Hindu family backgrounds.
    At the same time all three are extremely critical of the mindless and toxic obscurantism that is sweeping across the country in the name of Hindutva revival, actively sponsored by the Sangh Parivar and its army of vicious social and political platforms.

Fascination and assuming the possibility is in no way harmful. Like Venki sir mentioned leftists instead of finding faults should look at in light hearted knowing the fact that student and people still continue to only learn from
      Schools only and contribute how ever possible. Just taking pride in our mythological stories and assuming that is no way harmful to anyone. Secondly, intelligent people dont complain and will only take what is necessary. Only intruders and invaders and converted mindset people point fingers and rant and call those statements claims.

    I totally agree with you sir in your perspective about science.i would like to mention a simple example m you might know about the Ashoka pillar in Delhi which is not rusting in spite of so many years.
    with so best knowledge of metallurgy, we are not able to replicate it and most of the temples and Egyptian pyramids were also constructed in a magnificent way even with modern science it might be difficult to replicate...................................IF WE CAN'T SEE THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S NOT THERE. with all due respect sir

      Correctly said, these so called modern scientist are blind to all the proof that are very apparent in age old monuments, ancient structures, scripture and then cry show us the proof. Bunch of jokers

      Oh no scientists agree that it rusts but ,it rusts very slowly and not being able to replicate it does not mean all the other idiotic claims are correct my friend .Also appreciate you asking a question that’s what we all must do.

    People like him are required to have their youtube channels to promote scientific mindsets..when people like Abhijit Chavda can advance an authoritarian ideology why are rationalist ain't coming out & working as vigorously as them?
