Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis told Assembly that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was earlier underrepresented in national textbooks. He said, "In CBSE textbooks...there was only one paragraph about Maratha Empire, Hindavi Swarajya...but history of Mughals spanned 17 pages." He added, "History has changed...Centre has now included 21-page history of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Maratha Empire."
