Recently BJP's Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb said that the Internet existed even during the Mahabharata period. meanwhile when speaking at a Regional Workshop on Computerization and Reforms at Pragna Bhawan in Agartala, Biplab Kumar Deb said that Sanjay, the narrator of Mahabharat, narrated all the episodes of the Kurukshetra war to the blind King Dhritarashtra with the help of the internet.
Biplab said 'This is the country where the episodes of the Mahabharat war were
narrated to Dhritarashtra by Sanjay, which means technology was there, Internet
was there, satellite was there.' Moreover the CM didn't even leave the
country's pioneer tech organization National Information Centre (NIC), saying
that the NIC is merely using the technology which was invented more than
thousand years ago.
Further the CM added that 'He congratulated the NIC for their jobs but you people didn't discover technology and was discovered much earlier. Even the European countries can claim that they have invented the technology but in reality, the technology was ours and feels his country is rich in culture’.
