2 Things
1. He is clearly doing this for his movie promotion and not out of actual concern for education system or knowledge
2. Various Mughals rulers ruled for around 300 years. Prithviraj Chauhan ruled for 10 years. It is natural for a history book to offer more coverage to mughal rulers simply going by this
Source of history is manuscripts, writings found on various monuments, biographies, writings by poets of that time. Some of these sources destroyed in wars, earthquakes.
Mughal rulers used to have their autobiography n biographies n had poets in their court who used to write poems in their book from their times, monuments etc. Thats why more is known about them. They were recent that's why less was destroyed.
Like ppl know more details about how Britishers ruled over us

He never denied the mughals impact and rule in India, he was stating that india's own history and historical figures are less talked about and only has few lines for them then outside rulers. Like indian historian wrote much less for them to the point the indian youths don't even know about their own historical rulers. There's nothing wrong in what he said. I live in Britain and even I studied almost everything on british historical figures where only british people know about, it's called british history. In the same way when India talks about history they mostly learn about outside rulers or foreign empires. Its sad that indians only learn about british rule and and mughal rule but don't know much before those rules.

Of course they specifically don't cover Prithviraj in detail. He was a local ruler with a small tenure who is more folk tale than fact.
