Chhatrapati SambhajinagarYuva Sena’s Marathwada college wing office-bearer Nikhil kakde has demanded the immediate restoration of the Maratha Empire map in the Class 8 NCERT history textbook, alleging its removal from the revised edition. Kakde submitted a memorandum to MP Shrikant Shinde during his city visit on Sunday.
