The National Council for Education Research and Training (NCERT) has introduced supplementary reading modules centering on India's Chandrayaan-3 mission. These modules have raised eyebrows for several reasons.

One of these modules, designed for middle school students, integrates mythology with space science. It suggests that scientific achievements can be traced back through Vymaanika Shastra: ‘Science of Aeronautics’, hinting at India's historical knowledge of flying vehicles.

The module references the Vedas, one of India's oldest texts, mentioning various gods transported on wheeled chariots pulled by animals, including horses, and their capacity for flight.
