Hey hivers,
Did you know that the first human to fly was actually not the wright brothers but an Indian? yes, that's 100% true. This happened 8 yrs before The Wright brothers made their flight when India was under British Rule. The britishers wanted to become the first in everything so they pressed this matter and also tried to sentence death to the real Father of flight and airplanes.
Yes, his name was Shivkar Talpade.
read this brief account from a famous newspaper :-
This was taken into consideration by the Indian government on january this year. There's also an Indian film named "Hawaizaada" made on this Fact. If you can speak or understand Hindi then please download and watch this heart touching movie that tells about the True history of Flight.

MUMBAI: As the roar of the engines of the Air Force jets died down when the air show ended on Sunday, there were a few whose thoughts went back to the first flight of a plane at the very Chowpatty beach over which the air show was held.
In 1895 an Indian pioneer flew what is said to be the first Indian plane in the air. The centenary year of the first successful flight, by the Wright brothers, was celebrated from December 17, 2003. But our own pioneer from Mumbai, Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, made an aircraft and had flown it eight years earlier. One of Talpade's students, P Satwelkar, has chronicled that his craft called 'Marutsakha'(Friend of the Winds) flew unmanned for a few minutes and came down.
Talpade belonged to the Pathare Prabhu community, one of the founder of Mumbai. According to aviation historians Mr Talpade used his knowledge of the Rig Vedas to build a plane. Orville and Wilbert Wright accomplished their feat in California on December 17,1903. Their flight lasted for 37 seconds.
