Journalist Sudhir Chaudhary responded to Prashant Bhushan’s tweet through a tweet. Sudhir Chaudhary took a jibe at Prashant Bhushan’s tweet and wrote, “There are 2 answers to this: 1- Emperor is a descendant of Prithviraj, not Aurangzeb? 2- Jaichand was there then and Jaichand is still today. Amish Devgan and Navika Kumar also retweeted Sudhir Chaudhary’s tweet.
Recently, a few days ago, film actor Akshay Kumar gave an interview to the news agency, in which he also talked about Mughal and history. Akshay Kumar had said, “We were taught much about the Mughals while very little was taught about our kings. We must know about the Mughals, but we should also know about our kings. There are only two-three lines in the history books about Prithviraj Chauhan, while much has been told about the invaders.”
The director of the film Chandraprakash Dwivedi was also present during the interview and he also talked about history. He said, “There are so many different perspectives in history and in the film we made, a lot of history has been taken into account, what are the popular views? I have taken care not to do anything wrong with any history. I have not made any such thing till date, which is against history.
