Vedic Science: Fiction vs Fact

A paper at the Indian Science Congress this year claimed that planes flew between planets in ancient India. Is this a flight of fancy? While celebrating tradition, are we mixing metaphorical with literal? Or have many real achievements of ancient India - from discovering zero to first surgery - buried by Western education? On We The People, we debate whether myth-making is the new science fiction or has colonised education made us ignorant of our own past?
