It was a day of laughter at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, thanks to pearls of wisdom dropped by the Minister of Human Resource Department, Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank'. Some of them were—"NASA has confirmed that if at all, a robot that is exactly like a human needs to be developed, there is no option rather than using Sanskrit, because it is a scientific language where you read exactly what you write"; "No treatment can be complete without Ayurvedic medicines, which is why all hospitals need to have an Ayurvedic department now"; "Sage Charak discovered the Atom". The students of technology giggled away at the 57th convocation ceremony of the famed institution on Saturday morning. It did not take long for many of the attendees to take to Twitter and other social media platforms to joke about it.
