Okay historian, please point out flaws in @vikramsampath work. You have 6 books to chose from, but you can start from the latest two on Savarkar.
Historians, much like Journalists, have eroded themselves over the past 70 years but indulging more in ideological bunkum than what their profession entails.

It is the reason why the "Professional Historian" gets no attention at best and his jeered at, at worst.
* by indulging.

Ah yes, indeed. But a lot many were.

But guess how many are listed in our textbooks as Islamist ? - Zero.

I agree, chequered clarity is missing.
An invasion such as Somnath is also conveniently swept under some So Mannat fairy tale. Ghaznavi destroyed it because it protected the So Mannat idol from Arabia. Lulz.
Let me know if this was found anywhere in the textbooks :

The " Padarth" of the Jagannath Puri idols was chased by Kala Pahar all the way to Lake Chilka.

In fact there are many occasions that the murtis were moved.

The biggest lesson from Shivaji Maharaj's life is the imposition of cost.

1. Shaiste Khan looted Pune. Chhatrapati Shivaji did not stop at merely driving him out, but looted Surat

2.Portuguese passed an anti-Hindu law. Chhatrapati Shivaji beheaded 4 Padres who passed the law
Slaying Afzal Khan would have confirmed Chhatrapati Shivaji's greatness.

Instead, he opened a campaign that doubled his own territory !

All this meant two things :

1. His adversaries would think ten times before attempting an adventure.

2.Compelled to pour resources in.
In the first example we have Adil Shah, who did not try a Afzal Khan type adventure again.

In the second we have the Mughals.. sending ever higher ranking mansabdar till finally Aurangzeb himself took the field against the Marathas.
