"Lot About Invaders In History Books, 2-3 Lines On...": Akshay Kumar

There is hardly anything about our culture and our Maharajas (in history books), said actor Akshay Kumar.

Indian kings hardly find any mention in history textbooks whereas "invaders" occupy a major chunk, claimed actor Akshay Kumar today while speaking on his upcoming movie based on emperor Prithviraj Chauhan.

The movie 'Prithviraj', starring Mr Kumar and Manushi Chhillar, is set to hit the screens this Friday.

"Unfortunately, our history textbooks only have two-three lines about Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, but a lot has been mentioned about the invaders," Mr Kumar said in an interview to news agency ANI.

There is hardly anything about our culture and our Maharajas (in history books), the actor added, while appealing to the Education minister to look into the matter.
