In a memorable speech on Monday in Washington, PM Modi recalled ancientIndia ’s accomplishments in fields as varied as fashion and medicine as evident in the sculptures at Konark.
He was speaking during the ceremonial handover of over 200 stolen cultural artifacts from theUS to India . Thanking the US for the gesture, Modi said the value of the artifacts could not be measured in money for the people of India .
He went on to say that stone sculptures at Konark’s Sun temple had the vision to show a woman in skirt and carrying a purse, very much reflecting the modern fashion norms.
He also said he had seen a ‘slide’ made of stone which showed an embryo inside a woman, ‘layers of skin’ and the way to carry out surgery on it.
Carbon dating had established that the embryo-in-woman stone dated back to 700 years and showed how early Indians had anticipated, modern medical developments, Modi said.
The PM’s speech trended on Twitter with many slamming his claims as unfounded. Modi had earlier described the Ganesha-Shiva myth as the world’s first instance of plastic surgery during a speech in Mumbai.
