10 Indian Conspiracy

Theories That Will

Leave You Scratching
Your Head In
Amazement
Conspiracy theories are not a product of the
Twitter age. They have been around since the
beginning of time. Most of them are so ridiculous
that all you can do is laugh. Here are a few
related to India that will leave you zapped! Take a
look.
1. Gandhiji could've stopped
Bhagat Singh's execution?
revivaloftrueindia
Many conspiracy theorists believe that the
Mahatma could've used his influence to stop
Bhagat Singh's execution. But he chose not to
intervene because Singh's violent methods were
a direct challenge to his ideology.
2. Lal Bahadur Shastri was
poisoned?

While we all know that Lal Bahadur Shastri died
in Russia due to a heart attack, some theorists
actually believe that he was poisoned. They point
out that no post-mortem was carried out. Also the
flask that he drank water from never came back
to India. Recently someone filed an RTI asking
for his death certificate, but the government of
India turned down the request.
3. CIA's role in Homi Bhabha's
death in a plane crash?

plane crash in 1966. Conspiracy theorists
attribute his death to the CIA, claiming that they
wanted to put an end to India's Nuclear Program
which pretty much happened after his death.
4. Subhash Chandra Bose didn't
die in a plane crash?

Subhash Chandra Bose's death has several
conspiracy theories around it. One suggests that
he actually didn't die in the air crash and lived as
a holy man under the name of Gumnami Baba
until he died in 1985. Another theory claims that
he lived in Russia as a war criminal and died
there.
5. UFO base in India?

UFO theories are probably one of the most talked
about. Some people say that India's Area 51-
Konka La Pass in J&K actually incorporates a
UFO base. Locals of both India and China claim
to have seen UFOs. However, authorities have
burst this bubble, claiming that these "UFOs" are
nothing but Chinese gaslights.
6. 2004 tsunami triggered by a
dormant World War II nuclear
bomb?

Conspiracy theorists claim that the 2004 Tsunami
that hit the Indian Ocean was triggered by an
underwater nuclear explosion of a bomb that had
remained dormant since world war II. Now you've
clearly got to be smoking something good to think
this one up!
7. We have a secret society
started by Emperor Ashoka that
still exists today?

Move over Dan Brown, cos we have our very own
Priory of Sion! So the story goes that Emperor
Asoka had developed a secret society around
270 B.C. This society had nine men, who
guarded nine books that needed to be preserved
for the safety of human society. These books
were based on warfare, sociology,
communication, alchemy, death, microbiology,
light, gravity and cosmology.
8. Taj Mahal or Shiva temple?

We have been taught in our history books that
Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in the memory of
his beloved Mumtaz. Well, some folks have a
different theory. Allegedly, carbon dating of Taj
samples taken by a certain Prof. Marvin Miller
suggests that the Taj Mahal was built 300 years
before Shahjahan and could have originally been
a temple for Lord Shiva.
9. Adam's Bridge built by
Hanuman?

Adam's Bridge connects India and Sri Lanka, and
is a string of sandstones and shells. Some
records suggest that this could be the same
bridge that Hanuman built for Lord Rama in the
epic Ramayana. Though most people believe this
to be a myth.
10. India still a British colony?

Even though India became independent in 1947,
it was part of the commonwealth of nations,
suggesting that the Queen of England still
exerted influence over it. The Queen also
allegedly can travel without visa to any
Commonwealth nation. This conspiracy theory
gained strength when Queen Elizabeth II visited
India in 1997 without a visa.
