Justice Markandey Katju, also a former chairman of the Press Council of India, is known for his outspoken views and unconventional opinions.
Ever since India lost the Cricket World Cup final against Australia, experts have been analysing the reasons behind it. From India's batting performance to slip-ups in fielding, people have been giving reasons for the unbeaten Rohit Sharma-led side's slide in fortune. But former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju has offered one of the most bizarre reasons and his post has gone viral because of that. Justice Katju claimed that Australia was the armoury of India in the time of Pandavas and that is why it won the match. Australia was the storage centre of the 'Astras' of Pandavas. It was called 'Astralaya'. This is the real reason why they won the World Cup.
