Oxford University Press India has issued an apology to Udayanraje Bhosale, a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, over 'unverified statements' made about the Maratha king in a book published over two decades ago. The apology addresses content in 'Shivaji: Hindu King in Islamic India' by James Laine, which sparked controversy and vandalism in 2004.
The Oxford University Press, which had first published the controversial book by US author James Laine on Chhatrapati Shivaji, told the Maharashtra government on Monday that it won't be publishing fresh copies of the book.
