When a falsehood is repeated many times, it cloaks itself in respectability.
Seriously.
This is what has happened.
Now coming to the facts....
The Mahabharata clearly describes a catastrophic blast that rocked the continent. "A single projectile charged with all the power in the
Universe...An incandescent column of smoke and flame as bright as 10,000 suns, rose in all its splendor...it was an unknown weapon, an iron
thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes an entire race. "The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. Their hair and
nails fell out, pottery broke without any apparent cause, and the birds turned white. "After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected. To escape
from this fire, the soldiers threw themselves into the river."
This is a deliberate misinterpretation and fraud concocted by whoever it is. This passage has been repeated as it it were a verse from the holy bible
by the psuedo-whatever-ians as proof of ancient nuclear weapons in India.
has anyone gone to the extent of actually reading whats in the Mahabharata ACTUALLY??
The actual Text for the above is from the
Mausala parva -Section II at the
sacredtexts.com
This translation of the Mahabharata is by the late Mr.
Kisari Mohan Ganguli, who is NOT
a Historian, but a TRANSLATOR. And this dude actually died long back even before the first research into nuclear science was started and the first
nuclear bomb was exploded in Hiroshima. How the hell does a guy who was dead long before the first nuke was exploded talk about "atomic blast as
experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki"????
Coming back to the Mausala Parva of the Mahabharata, i did a comparison of the so called fraud translation and the actual translation by Gangului,
available at sacred-texts.com
"The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. Their hair and nails fell out, pottery broke without any apparent cause, and the birds turned
white. "After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected. To escape from this fire, the soldiers threw themselves into the river."
Not a single match. The section does indeed paint a bleak picture, but nowhere does it tell anything like “The corpses were so burned as to be
unrecognizable” (not a single match) or “Hair and nails fell out” (actually it states that the mice ate the hairs and nails of the sleeping
men), or “or “ the birds turned white.” (it says …that were pale of complexion but that had legs red of hue) or “ all foodstuffs were
infected “ (it says…. upon food that was clean and well-boiled, were seen, when it was served out for eating, innumerable worms of diverse kinds)
or “…to escape from this fire the soldiers threw themselves in streams to wash themselves and their equipment” (not a single mention of this)

Harte has done an in depth research into this fraud.
