#RuchikaSharma, a Doctoral Scholar of History at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University, points out six glaring inaccuracies in #SamratPrithviraj, a film on the 12th century ruler #PrithvirajChauhan. The #AkshayKumar and
#ManushiChillar starrer imposes modern-day binaries of 'Hindu' and 'Muslim' on 12th century rulers, get the architecture and the language wrong, doesn't stick with facts, and valourises Jauhar. The film is both ahistorical and dangerous.
