I wanted to listen to the history of the Marathas. This book is a vehicle of propaganda and is continuing the current political dispensation. Glorifying a person is okay provided it is backed by facts. The author has used his imagination to create a superhero who is infallible. If you are looking at a fictional narrative go with this book, if you are interested in history go for Girish Kuber’s book Renaissance State: The Unwritten Story of the Making of Maharashtra.
