Question for anyone who has been educated ouside of Maharashtra:
I learnt in my Mumbai school about the various exploits of Shivaji, like ripping out the insides of the the aurangzeb general afzal khan and chopping off the finger tips of another aurangzeb general shahistekhan (when the latter was in the process of heroically running away via a window). Now did any non-Maharashtrians learn about all this? Does all this still get taught in Maharashtra today or is everything mullah-marxist-missionary?
