Bagde reiterated his claim that Mumbai -based engineer Shivkar Bapuji Talpade first designed and made an aircraft and flew over Mumbai Chopati in 1895, although the British destroyed the aircraft and did not ask them to make another.
He claimed that the Wright Brothers came out with an aircraft after eight years and were known as the inventor of the aircraft, even though it was first designed by an Indian engineer based on the knowledge passed by the ancient sages and their books.
Addressing another convocation at a university in Ajmer, Bagde made the same claim in March before March.
