Ravi,
Let me interject here. You do have a point about historical accuracy. But we have easily over 1500 posts on this very forum when it comes to complaining about historical accuracy that affects India - say with respect to issues like Satish Chandra's 'Jats are robbers' comment; or Witzel and Farmer attacking California parents for past 8 months; or for that matter some freedom fighters like Savarkar or Lala Lajpat Rai etc having to make way for johnny-come-lately like Lallu Yadva, Priyanka Gandhi etc in Indian text books.
But we never see your comments in those issues (perhaps I've overlooked, feel free to correct me). If 'Historical accuracy' becomes an issue only when Rajput posts are discussed, how should it be interepreted other than it's a Jat/Rajput issue? Maybe I am reading too much into a one sided concern for historical accuracy, feel free to send me an email.
