At a public function on 17 April in Agartala, Tripura CM Biplab Deb claimed that India was the birthplace of the internet and that its existence in our country could be traced back to the Mahabharata period.

The Europeans and the Americans may claim that it is theirs, but it is actually our technology. Internet has been present in India for over lakhs of years.
