They included Sardar Patel and Shivaji, but missed Gandhi and Nehru.

God forbid 1 movie among 1000 misses Gandhi or Nehru in them.
If omitting a subset of leaders is right-wing bias, then every other movie made in India should be considered congress propaganda.
I agree that there is a streak of revisionism in the air within both academic and pop history in India at the moment. However, it is not clear if this simply a long-overdue correction to 75 years of propaganda or if somehow, all history written by the prevailing powers of the last century were perfectly unbiased.
