19th Feb was a birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, I am sure it will be celebrated in grand style with lot of fan fare, there was some dispute over the date of his birth but that's very trivial issue and I still don't understand why this issue even started few years back but I remember reading about that in news.
I studied about life of King Shivaji and his heroics as a part of our history syllabus in 4th or 5th grade, it was not easy to remember all the dates and exact chronology of events, we have to memorize all these details and then write in our history exams. The exam pattern of that time tried their best to make history subject as boring as possible with so many dates and names (and compulsion of remembering all of them) but still his story and heroics thrilled me. I was impressed the way he created his own army and from very young age he fought with all the odds to become a king of masses.
There are many books, some by very eminent authors which discus very detailed accounts of his life, there are many movies and plays specially in Marathi based on some incidents from his life.
All these are excellent resources to learn about this great personality and understand importance and greatness of his work, there is no doubt that he is one of the most influential personality- from Indian history. He was not born in any royal family, he also didn't inherit any kingdom, rather his father used to work for Mughal emperors of that time (Adilshah or Nizam). He has to fought with these employers of his own father to rescue people of his region from all troubles which they were facing because of miserable policies of these rulers. He was not only a brave warrior but also was very good strategist and knew very well his own strengths and weaknesses as well as knew his enemy inside out. His sharp brain and very good presence of mind helped him a lot whenever he was in trouble. He was a leader with sharp mind, a very big and brave heart and great vision.
Shivaji Maharaj is sometimes described as 'The great Hindu King' or 'The great Maratha King' these two terms exclusively refer to the religion and caste he belongs and some how I feel that both these terms don't do justice to the greatness of this man. He never ruled or even envisioned his kingdom as Hindu or Maratha kingdom, as far as I think he was very secular king in his kingdom people from all religion and caste felt really safe and welcomed. I did not know any instances from his life where he mistreated any person or group just because of their religion, caste or gender that's why I feel it's totally wrong to give him some label like this. I feel this is an attempt to claim ownership of his character by some groups for political or personal gains. His name and image has been used or many times misused by many political and non-political organizations for their own benefit, I am sure he himself would not have approved such things in his lifetime.
We have such a great example of self made person, who fought with all the odds all his life and almost won all the battles, his enemies were much, much stronger than him but he never go scared or lost confidence on his own power and his people.
We need such heroes today who can guide masses, we lack such personalities in today's world. Today's leaders are slowly loosing touch with common people and there is huge communication gap between these leaders and common people whom they are supposed to lead, but Shivaji Maharaj was not like that, he did whatever was necessary for people of his kingdom even if it meant risking his own life, we don't see such commitment and loyalty in today's leaders and that's why I feel in today's world it's more important to remember people like Shivaji Maharaj.
I wish that people or political parties who claim exclusive right over Shivaji and use his image for their own benefit would also learn some important lessons from his life and try to serve people like him. Just publishing books on him or printing his posters or raising his statues on every square is not going to serve any purpose. We need to remind people for what he fought, what principles he believed in, how he treated with respect even his enemies and people related with them after war, he never played politics of revenge, never insulted any religion. We all need to remember his great qualities which made him great king and I feel this will be real homage to him and this will be real celebration of his personality and existence.
