We've all been through Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb's baffling claim that internet technology actually existed in the Mahabharata era.
Joining this ridiculous Mahabharat theory bandwagon is Vice-Chancellor of Andhra University who said that India possessed the knowledge of stem cell research, test tube fertilisation dating back to the times of Mahabharata and Ramayana.
"We had hundreds of Kauravas from one mother because of stem cell research and test tube baby technology. It happened a few thousand years ago. This was science in this country," G Nageshwar Rao said during the Indian Science Congress.

I wonder how they assume such high offices with little understanding of Science. Acknowledging genuine wisdom of Hindu scriptures is ok, but mixing them with Modern terminologies like Test tube baby and Stem cell Tech without evidence is Anti-Science IMO

¡°It is absolutely distressing that these claims were made in the Children Science Congress section of Indian Science Congress (ISC) where the audience was largely comprised of teachers and young students,¡± it said.
