So Bhagwa will replace them with new chapter named, “Maafi Veer Savarkar and his mercy petitions” .. 🙂
Ill-advised decision. Indian Youth must know in detail what the Mughals did to India. Read about what Gen. Tikka Khan said to his soldiers:

Mughals did this to India over a period of four hundred years!
Tikka Khan or Tilak Khan, does not matter. Mughal came here and and their bodies buried here after their death. They did not loot Indian continent and went away. If Tippu Sultan bow his head before Britishers, today we can see his luxury palaces and museums all over Karnataka.
Govt is doing anything…what a joke to change history
