Is there any evidence of nuclear weapons used during the Mahabharata war? The Mahābhārata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India revered in Hinduism, the other being the Rāmāyaṇa.
There is no credible historical or scientific evidence to support the claim that nuclear weapons were used during the Mahabharata war. The Mahabharata is an ancient Indian epic that contains fantastical elements and allegorical stories. The descriptions of destructive weapons like the “Brahmastra” should be interpreted metaphorically or symbolically rather than as accounts of actual nuclear weapons. Archaeological findings, geophysical studies, and historical records do not provide any substantial proof of nuclear explosions in the ancient Indian subcontinent. The concept of nuclear weapons aligns more with modern technological understanding than the historical context of the Mahabharata, which predates such advancements by millennia. The idea of nuclear weapons in the Mahabharata is not substantiated by reliable sources and lacks the archaeological and scientific evidence required to establish its validity.
