Think before you speak

Unable to understand that why so much hullabaloo over BJP’s UP deputy chief minister Dinesh Sharma’s views that “Sita was test-tube baby”. Mr Sharma is not alone in dropping such nuggets of unknown wisdom. It’s the PM Narendra Modi led BJP dynasty (not Nehru-Gandhi dynasty for country’s all ills), whose chest always to swell with pride for the glorious mythical past rather than learning about the latest advancements in the world of technology. Hearing some non-sense everyday reminds the PM Modi’s successful implant of an elephant's head on Lord Ganesh to the superior knowledge of cosmetic surgery among the ancients. Karna, in Mahabharata, who was not born of his mother's womb, was a living example of genetic engineering thousands of years ago. Also, we are more knowledgeable when (Rajasthan) Education Minister, Vasudev Devnani, has claimed that cow is the only animal to 'exhale oxygen', or recent human encyclopaedia, Tripura CM Biplab Deb, commented that internet and satellite communication had

existed in the days of Mahabharata, Aishwarya Rai, and not Diana Hayden, is the true Indian beauty, etc. These many other BJP leaders’ cataract comments clearly indicate that there is no need of basic knowledge. Its pain to see when a person whether he is a country’s pradhan sevak or the CM of a state, how they forget that their every remark and thinking is weighed not only in the country but also in the world.
