My GGGGGG used to fly on PuriSaucers in 15th century. He used to make big ppuris each 30 feet diameter then used to fill the inside of the pufff with hot air and oilvapor. He used sit on them fly around. Later Europeans mistook them as flying saucers.

cynics ware there , are there and will be there for ever.
From his photo, he looks competent enough to run a Va_da pao stall...but flying aeroplanes and that too based on Vedic mumbo jumbo promoted by some un_educated Sadhu in a jungle???? Give me a break!!!!

!diot, please go have a look at the drawings in the HAL aeronautical museum in Bangalore Has enough evidences of Vaimanika Sastra designs. IF you are ignorant dont laugh and show your stupidity

It wasn't just the French, the US government initially refused to believe that the Wright brothers were successfully flying. The US government had backed a rival Professor Samuel Langley with a huge amount of support including financing the construction of an engine that had the highest power-weight ratio yet achieved. Langley did successfully fly a 2-metre wingspan model but his full-size aircraft broke up and crashed on each attempt to launch it by catapulting from a rail on the roof of a boat. The Wrights were cycle mechanics without any formal qualifications but they reached by experiment a good understanding of the necessary structure and control system. They also used two very large propellers geared to turn in opposite directions, giving very efficient propulsion from an engine that they had built themselves that was about one-third the power of Langley's engine. They flew repeatedly for three years before the driver of a passing train saw their aircraft in the air and stopped the train, whose thousand-odd passengers all watched for about a quarter of an hour as the aircraft flew around. Nobody could deny the Wrights' success after that.

East is barbaric and backward. West is scientific and civilized. The West is not Xtian but Secular like Greek & Rome. Macaulay came to civilise India and did to a large extent. The British have civilised the world. Every development you see around in this world is because of the British. From science, technology, democracy, medicine to English language unification and so forth. Singapore and Hong Kong developed because it rejected the past and adopted the British. Adopt the Truth and scientific ways of the West and British. India is slightly better than neighboring countries that they do not kill people over cartoons.

Shows what a confused mind you have Go to the 17th and 18th Century East was civilsed, west was barbaric. Macaulay came to India to destabilize it so that britishers can colonize it Because of all the development in the world the world is crying today. POllution in every form has increased. Democracy was present right from the Vedic Ramayana period. Read the ramayana, ignorant one, to understand. Ayurveda was available much before the advent of the English medicine. science existed in India long ago.

I have heard about this story even before BJP party was in existence. It is possible. Before Independance, many talented Indian scientists were unrecognized and had to struggle for recognition or funds. When Jagadish Chandrabose invented Radio and went to Royal society for recognition, they laughed at him and did not even give him a chance to present his invention. In a few days, Marconi also presented his invention and got the credit.

Lord Kelvin congratulated him. Bose wrote a lot about his millimeter-wave Radio (portable) that consisted of a Galena crystal receiver. Incidentally, it was the first diode receiver.. It was also patented by him... Bose was not interested in the commercial radio.. Marconi's interest were in trans-atlantic communications that used different frequencies. and Marconi's contrubutions were in the area of increasing the distance of travel... Bose was recognized by the Royal Society....I have written quite a bit of the details of both Marconi and Bose's contrbutions in my book.

They did not laugh at him.. His Prof. Lord Raleigh was very proud of him.. Lord Kelvin was there and Bose and his wife were honored by all the society members.. They even published his demonstrations and the small portable radio that he took from Calcutta.. Sorry to say the truth and not buy cosnpiracy theories..
Bose's interest changed to plant science... He made so many innovations.. Please visit Bose Institute in Calcutta.. He was honored by IEEE in the US for 100th year (Centennial)of his millimeter-wave radio invention.

Yes he did.. He demonstrated it first, before Marconi, by remote triggering a bomb in Calcutta. The Governore of Bengal was a witness. Before our guys jump the gun.. we need to understand that Bose was a product of both native and British educational system. He was a student Lord Raleigh. On LRs recommendation, he was appointed as the first indigenous Prof. in Presidency Collge Calcutta.

He did not pursue long distance radio wave transmission and reception..Marconi did that by working tirelessly doing experiments with land to ship comunications, building large antennas, and finally succeeded in trans atlantic commmunications... It was thought that radio waves will not travel beyond the horizon.. due to spherical shape of earth.. Marconi proved that some radio waves are reflected by ionosphere and give us reception beyond the horizon...
A number of claims are made saying that Indians knew & used the science & technology. It is a matter of pride if the claims are true. But unless one brings such gadgets, machines or devices using ancient technology it has no value more than a myth
