In the plea, Sampath sought Rs 2 crore in damages from the three historians who have accused him of plagiarism.Tech journalist Abhishek Baxi, Professor Ashok Swain, Twitter and the Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology are the other respondents in the plea.Sampath’s plea contends that charges against him fall completely flat and is clearly libelous and the same is being done as part of an international smear campaign in order to discredit him because he has shown the academic courage and gumption to challenge the prevailing narrative around a historical figure like Savarkar.
