The land of tantriks and black magic, India has enthralled generations and generations of scientists and researchers with mysteries that till today remain unsolved and unexplained. Let’s take a look at some of these mysteries of India that have baffled people throughout the ages.
1.Twin village
Guess how the Kodinhi village in Kerala got the name of the Twin Village! This tiny little village has a population of 2000 people, out of which there are around 200 pairs of twins! Scientists have yet to figure the reason behind high twinning ratio in this village, while in the rest of the country it is markedly low.
2. 9 Unknown Men
India’s very own version of the Illuminati, the mysterious 9 Unknown Men is one of the world’s most powerful secret societies. Started by Emperor Asoka himself, each of these 9 unknown men have been entrusted with a book of knowledge on different subjects like Propaganda and Psychological warfare, communicating with extraterrestrials, and defying gravity. It is said that the secret society exists till date, but the actual identities of these 9 unknown men are still a mystery.
3. Cursed village – Kuldhara
The village of Kuldhara in Rajasthan lies in ruins now, allegedly because of a curse which wiped out its entire population almost overnight and till date remains uninhabited.
4. Kongka La Pass UFO base
Strange lights in the sky, suspicious government silence, and several other strange goings-on all point to the presence of a UFO base camp in the Kongka La Pass on the Indo-China border.
5. Death of Subhas Chandra Bose
Although the official word is that Netaji died of burns due to a plane crash in 1945, there are other versions of that story which proclaims that it was a staged event, and Netaji was actually killed by Stalin. There’s even a school of thought that believes that he went underground for all those years to finally die of natural causes in the year 1985.
6. Yeti
The Yeti or the Abominable Snowman is a massive ape-like humanoid creature that haunts the snowy slopes of the Himalayas. Although generally regarded as an urban legend, several unexplained and mysterious sightings have happened which lead us to question its existence.
7. Roopkund lake
The biggest mystery perhaps of all of these is how the Roop Kund Lake in Uttarakhand also got the name of the Skeleton Lake. When it was discovered in 1942 this frozen lake was absolutely full of skeletons. The following summer all the ice melted and even more skeletal remains were discovered in and around it. The explanation behind this lake full of skeletons is still not clear. According to some they are the remains of the Japanese soldiers who died of exposure, and another version of the story is that after a sudden and violent hailstorm which wiped out an entire group of people, their dead bodies were washed off into the lake.
8. Jatinga – bird suicide
This small village in Assam is popular for the massive numbers of bird deaths ocurring here every year. Especially on monsoon evenings, flocks of birds plunge from the skies into the village, and in the process end up hurting themselves and even dying.
9. Prahlad Jani
Another unexplained mystery from our country, Prahlad Jani, also known as Mataji, claimed to have survived without food and water since 1940. Despite conducting several experiments with him, where he was locked in a room without any form of sustenance for a fortnight, scientists are yet to arrive at a reasonable explanation for this miracle.
10. Stoneman
The serial killer that went rampant first on the streets of earstwhile Bombay and then Calcutta still remains an unsolved mystery to this day. Given the title of Stoneman, this one or more murderer would roam the streets at night and select his victims from the street-dwellers and ragpickers, whose head they would bash in using a huge stone rock.
