for
his
concept
of
India
in
history.
Saif
during
an
interview
with
Anupama
Chopra,
referring
to
Tanhaji's
history
alteration
said,
"I
don't
think
this
is
history.
I
don't
think
there
was
a
concept
of
India
till
the
British
gave
it
one."
The
conversation
started
about
Tanhaji's
politics

film.
Anupama
asked
if
it
made
him
change
his
mind
of
playing
the
character,
Saif
said,
"For
some
reason,
I
didn't
take
a
stand.
Maybe
next
time
I
would.
I
was
very
excited
to
play
the
role
because
it's
a
delicious
role.
But
when
people
say
this
is
history,
I
don't
think
this
is
history.
I
am
quite
aware
of
what
the
history
was."
He
then
added,
"I
don't
think
there
was
a
concept
of
India
till
perhaps
the
British
gave
it
one.
I
don't
think
there
is
really
any
constructive
point
in
arguing
about
loudly,
provided
you
yourself
know
why
you're
doing
it."
The
comment
on
India's
existence
in
History
has
set

many
fans
on
Twitter.
Some
even
went
as
far
as
to
remind
the

'Indian
Ocean
is
named
since
1515'.
Take
a
look:
There
was
no
concept
of
India
till
British
came
