Check out how Twitter responded to Tripura CM's 'Internet during Mahabharata' claim

The Indian Entertainment industry is facing stiff competition from the political landscape with absolutely bizarre and I have to say, hilarious incidents being reported everyday! Yesterday’s episode was about Internet during Mahabharata.

Oh no! That’s no mistake because that is exactly what newly sworn in Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb just said in an interview yesterday. Claiming the existence of Internet during Mahabharata were his exact words as he said the following, “Internet and satellite communication had existed in the days of Mahabharata.”

“WHAT THE F*CK?” were the exact words of people all over the country, and Twitter literally erupted with jokes poking fun at Biplab Deb’s accurate knowledge of history.

Right from ancient pen drives to extremely weird scenarios of imagining the existence of Internet during Mahabharata like ‘the fight between Pandavas and Kauravas occurring due to a dispute in a family WhatsApp group, Twitter was unforgiving to say the least.

Of course internet existed during the #Mahabharata period. A war between brothers centred around their hurt egos could have only started on a family whatsapp group.

#InternetMahabharata chronicles:

During the days of Mahabharata, there was a social media site called as Mukhpustak which was founded by Markand Zuckeracharya. People used to regularly update their status like 'visting hastinapur' , 'having lunch with pandav brothers' etc.

If internet had existed during Mahabharata, all data services would have been suspended in Kurukshetra. ?

The Internet existed during the Mahabharata. The biggest issue happened when Yudhistra refused to make Duryodhana group admin in the family WhatsApp group. Now it can be told.

No the purpose of this story is not to ridicule or demean the Mahabharata, but to express how absurd the statement from Biplab Deb was.
