Madhya Pradesh Education Minister Inder Singh Parmar stirred a debate by claiming that Indians discovered America, not Columbus. Speaking at Barkatullah University’s convocation in Bhopal on Tuesday, September 10, Parmar said, "Our ancestors discovered America, not Columbus". Parmar further stated that Indian sailors, led by Vasulun, reached San Diego in the 8th century and built temples long before Christopher Columbus’s expedition. He criticised current education systems for promoting “incorrect history,” asserting that evidence of this discovery can be found in an American museum. Parmar’s statement, however, lacked specific details about these claims, igniting controversy over historical accuracy. Madhya Pradesh Education Minister Inder Singh Parmar Says ‘Uniforms To Be Implemented in All Government Colleges’.
