CHATRAPTTI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ

The most progressive and sensible ruler in the history of the world was Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Tales of his bravery are countless and stories of his victories innumerableHis name is not derived from Lord Shiva but in fact a regional deity by the name of ShivaiHe was given god-like stature for his deeds, not his nameHe was extremely secularAt a time when all kingdoms were strictly sticking to their religious beliefs and doing away with others', Shivaji was surprisingly very accommodating of all religionsHe never compromised on his own religious roots and tried reviving all the positive aspects of HinduismHe had many Muslims in his military ranks as wellAs opposed to the common belief of him being a king of Hindu origin who fought Muslims. He fought other rulers, not religions, who threatened his kingdomIn fact, he even offered his assistance to Aurangzeb in conquering Bijapur but it was just a tactical ployHe built a kingdom from nothingHe knew the importance of a good army and perfected warfare strategies. He had an intelligence unit that helped him devise tactics like the guerrilla warfareHe was a practical military commander and didn't encourage his troops to be martyred for the sake of it. Instead, he always asked them to take a step back and regroupHis tactics and practicality helped him win battles where he was out-numbered as wellHe was smart enough to establish a navy to protect the coastlineHe knew that to protect India from foreign invaders, a naval fleet was required. Not many other kings had thought of this. But he formed a resolute Maratha navyHe defeated Afzal Khan in a one-on-one battle. Afzal Khan was a veteran general and superior to Shivaji in size & strengthHe stood for the honour of women and made sure none were taken prisonersHe was extremely merciful to those who surrendered and would welcome them into his own army"A true king knows how to win even when the battle is lost. A true king knows how to live even when his life is lost."A king like Shivaji will always live in our hearts
