Test-tube baby during Ramayana

Lucknow, June 01: As we know that, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said on Friday the 'live telecast' began in the Mahabharata era.

Sharma, while speaking at an event organized here on Wednesday to mark the ‘Hindi Journalism Day’ said a technology similar to 'live telecast' was available at the time of Mahabharata, through which the entire view of Kurukshetra was presented to Dhritarashtra in Hastinapur.

Sharma even claimed that technology behind in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) and test-tube babies, must have existed during the time of Ramayana, through which Sita the central figures in the Hindu epic, was born.

"People say Sita ji was born from an earthen pot, which means at the time of Ramayana, a concept similar to test tube baby must have existed," he said.

As per Ramayana, Sita was born directly from the earth and found by King Janaka. Earlier, in April the Tripura Chief Minister claimed that internet and satellites existed since the Mahabharata era. Deb said that only the narrow-minded people will find it difficult to believe the facts stated by him.
