Tripura guv: Puranic period people had prototypes

KOLKATA: Amid controversy over Tripura chief minister Biplab Deba’s claim that internet and satellite communication existed in Mahabharata’s time, state Governor Tathagata Roy on Friday said people in the Puranic period either had superhuman imagination or some kind of prototypes otherwise they could not have conceived such ideas. “In the Puranic period, people had thought of ‘Divya Drishti’, Pushpaka Ratha’ (divine sight, flying chariot, respectively), which means, they must have had superhuman imagination or some kind of prototype. There could be things which are beyond our imagination. “Unless there was a prototype of something of that type, it was not possible to conceive such a thing,”
