Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel sparked debate with her claims about ancient Indian technological advancements during the ninth convocation of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Language University in Lucknow on Monday, November 19. She described Kumbhakarna from the Ramayana as a "technocrat" who secretly developed advanced machines in his laboratory under Ravana’s orders. Patel also suggested that Rishi Bharadwaj built and flew the world’s first plane, predating the Wright brothers, over Bombay's Chowpatty. Highlighting the Pushpak Viman from the Ramayana, she referred to it as a 5,000-year-old invention, questioning its origins. Patel urged students to explore ancient Indian knowledge and translate it for broader access, emphasising India’s overlooked technological heritage.
