Minister Claims India Invented the Internet 3000 Years Ago
Mr Deb, in fact, joins a fairly long list of Indian ministers in the current Hindu nationalist BJP government-including Prime Minister Narendra Modi-who have claimed many modern-day scientific or technological achievements were invented many centuries ago.
He said in the epic Mahabharata it has been mentioned that Sanjay (the charioteer of Dhritarashtra) gave a live commentary of the war of Kurukshetra between the Pandavas and the Kauravas to the blind king Dhritarashtra.
A high-ranking official in India is being ridiculed online for claiming that the internet and satellite technology was invented in ancient India.

"Lazy archaeologists have been busy digging up stones and rocks when they should have been unearthing remains of computers and server banks of ancient Indian internet", Mr Abdullah, who is the former chief minister of the state, wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
"The Europeans and the Americans may claim that it is their invention, but it is actually our technology". He, however, acknowledged that there were narrow minded people who "want to belittle their own nation and think highly of other countries".
Speaking at a recent event in Agartala, Deb said that he was sure facilities such as internet and satellites were very much in existence in ancient India and even during the Mahabharat times. The CM said he was proud that he was born in a country which had the "best communication system" and "best culture" in the whole world. "Believe the truth. Don't get confused and don't confuse".
