If Akbar's great, so is Maharana Pratap, says Rajnath Singh

Centre has decided to celebrate 475th birth anniversary of the Rajput ruler, across India

Pratapgarh: Union home minister Rajnath Singh has welcomed the Rajasthan government’s decision to include a chapter on iconic figures like Maharana Pratap in school textbooks. He said he would urge Union HRD minister Smriti Irani to consider inclusion of such chapters in CBSE syllabus.

“If Akbar can be called ‘Akbar, the Great’, then why can’t Maharana Pratap be recognised as ‘Maharana Pratap, the Great’?” he asked. The Centre has decided to celebrate the 475th birth anniversary of the 16th century Rajput ruler of Mewar, across India.
