Maha guv calls Shivaji 'icon of old era', draws flak

Governor B S Koshyari stoked a new controversy on Saturday, calling Chhatrapati Shivaji an icon of the old era. "In our childhood, we were often asked in school, who is your favourite leader or hero. If youngsters today are asked about their icon, they need to look beyond Maharashtra. Chhatrapati Shivaji is an icon from the olden times. I am talking about modern times. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Nitin Gadkari are found right here."
