1) KBC serial in Sony Tv shows respect
to Aurangzeb as Mugal sambrat & Shri Chattrapathi Shivaji Maharaj as 'Shivaji' mentioned. We oppose this dis respect of The great hindu king.
Will @SonyTV ever dare to call the Mughals as invaders?

It's like spitting Poison when in reality, Shivaji Maharaj were The Inspiration for Military of many countries like @IDF , Vietnam, @adgpi .
