Revise description of Raja Savai Jai Singh at Samarkand Observatory Museum #IndiaNEWS #India
Hyderabad: TRS MLC K Kavitha on Friday wrote to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar requesting him to take up with the Uzbekistan government the issue of the description of Indian ruler Raja Savai Jai Singh at Samarkand observatory museum.
In her letter, Kavitha pointed out that the descriptive board outside the Ulugh Beg Observatory (Samarkand Observatory Museum), a site of national importance for Uzbekistan, refers to the Raja as the servant of the palace of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire in India.
I am writing to you to bring to your notice the description of one of our very respected Indian ruler Savai Jai Singh of Jaipur who has been portrayed in an inferior light at the Samarkand observatory in Uzbekistan, she wrote.

My letter to the Foreign Minister @DrSJaishankar Ji on taking up the issue of the description of Raja Savai Jai Singh (of Jaipur) at Samarkand observatory museum, Uzbekistan. We demand all our historical figures to be addressed with due respect in the outside world. pic.twitter.com/owNt1BSB1r

Addressing our venerated historical figure as servant is against Indias dignity. I urge the Prime Minister & the Minister of Foreign Affairs to take it up with their counterparts in #Uzbekistan , (sic) Kavitha said in a tweet.
Given the rich and historical relationships with the Central Asian country, it would be appropriate to request that government to revise the description about Raja Savai Jai Singh in a manner that is befitting of the dignity of an Indian historical icon, she added.
