I was amazed why a Muslim did so much ruckus about script writing Is going. I am not an Indian.

According to the book, "Chopra sent this letter to Rahi Sahib. Then the next day, Rahi Sahib, the patron of Ganga Jamuni Tahajib of India, called Chopra and said, "Chopra sahib ... I will write 'Mahabharata'. I am the son of Ganga. Who knows more about India's civilization and culture. "
