Look at these nuts:
'Several modules also suggest India developed advanced space technologies centuries ago—a concept promoted in recent years by Hindu nationalists. One, for example, suggests the mention of flying chariots and palaces in ancient Sanskrit epics “
seemingly reveals that our civilization had the knowledge of flying vehicles.” Other ancient texts and myths, it adds, “contain treasures of scientific knowledge on various disciplines including aeronautics (that can make the younger generation feel
proud of the legacy inherited by them and take this knowledge system further for new uses).”'
Everything happening today is mere re-discovery of long lost ancient knowledge.

Ya, and the European fashion of nationalist (both historical and modern
) have their own favored nonsense about Viking/Nordic civilizations and
what they were like...haven't heard a claim the Vikings invented flying machines though.
Give the Indian fashies points for creativity on that one.
