Following Biplab Deb’s footsteps, Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani on Monday claimed that mythological Hindu messenger of Gods Narada had the entire world’s information in the manner similar to search engine Google.
Rupani said, “This is relevant in today’s time that Narad was a man of information; who had information of the whole world…he acted on these information…collecting information was his dharma for the betterment of the humankind, and it is very much required.” His statement comes after Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb said satellite communication and internet existed in the days Mahabharata.
The chief minister was speaking at an event to celebrate ‘Devrshi Narad Jayanti’. The event was organised by Vishwa Samvad Kendra, an offshoot of the RSS.
Similar comments were made in January by the Minister of State for Human Resource Development Satyapal Singh, he had said that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, was scientifically wrong.
