The Sena on Friday continued to stage protests against a book on the Maratha history by Surendranath Sen for portions, which it claimed, offended admirers of Shivaji. When he raked up the controversy, Sena chief Bal Thackeray read out a page from Sen8217;s book, but left out the part which ridiculed the theories put forward by the Portuguese historian. Clearly, the Sena has decided to play up the issue with an eye on the Maratha votebank.
