Historian Ruchika Sharma claimed Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj looted Chikka Wodeyar, Maharaja of Mysore. Her comments came amid row over NCERT Class 8 book flagging 'brutality' of Delhi Sultanate, 'religious intolerance' of Mughals. Criticising Ruchika's remark, BJP said, "Comparing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to Mughal tyrants is not only historical distortion but also grave insult to...nation."
