They are geniuses who have created milestones in various subjects including art, culture, politics, science," said Dalmia.

He also highlighted that the first plane was created and flown by an Indian pioneer Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, a Maharashtrian, at Chowpatty several years before Wright Brothers.
