The Rajasthan government had sought response from the producers of 'Panipat' through its distributor following a representation from Jat leaders against the film on Monday.
Ashutosh Gowarikar’s period drama Panipat has offended Jats and Afghans for 'wrong portrayal' of Jat ruler Maharaja Surajmal and Afghan king Ahmad Shah Abdali.
Rajathan's Jat community claims Maharaja Surajmal is shown as being greedy in the film Panipat, when, in fact, he helped the Marathas against the Afghans in the third battle of Panipat.
The Central Pollution Control Board issued a show-cause notice to the power plant, warning that its Unit 7 could be shut down for failing to meet the year-end deadline.

Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
I don’t think historical films or novels can depict history correctly. There is always a temptation to glorify the central character of the story and the script is so structured to hide the character’s weaknesses and blunders/errors. The most stupid thing is to show these characters singing and dancing in Bollywood style. So, we are shown Bajirao-I dancing ‘Wat lavali’ or his grandson Bajirao-II singing a patriotic song in Manikarnika- it is so comic that it looks that the film-makers are absolutely ignorant about history. When it is shown that Bajirao-I’s wife Kashibai dancing along with Mastani it becomes a laughing affair, because in actual history due to health problems Kashibai, a mother of three children, was not able to even walk properly, forget dancing. Then, we have a phenomenon of historical figures becoming icons community or region-wise. That community will not accept anything adverse being portrayed about its icon. Furthermore, controversies are deliberately raked up either to blackmail producers or to give them backhanded publicity. So, forget films, if you are serious about history read history books. For example, for the third battle of Panipat read the most authentic versions by T.S.Shejwalkar (Panipat 1761), Sir Jadunath Sarkar (The Fall of Mughal Empire-Vol 2) or J.L.Mehta ( Advanced Study in History of Medieval India).
Corrections: Kashibai was mother of four children not three, out of which two died prematurely. She was suffering from arthritis, so dancing was out of question. Sorry, Priyanka Chopra.

I don’t think a sensitive Director sets out to deliberately hurt sentiments. There are shades of grey to many historical characters and events. That becomes a little difficult to accept in a nation which is busy writing a sanitised version of its history. A small, fierce group of protestors is enough to persuade the state government to intervene, on the side opposite artistic freedom.
It is bound to hurt sentiments as film obviously will be from Maratha or new Hindutva point of view trying to cash on the newly found enthusiasm. To know what Hindus did to Hindus just Google Maratha invasions of Bengal.
When rule of law is weak, tribal culture prevails.
