Answers
Answer:
There is no other leader of Maharashtra, including the many Maratha chief ministers, who has done more for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj than the late Abdul Rehman Antulay.
The large portrait of the Maratha warrior king at the entrance of Mantralaya was set up by Antulay when he was the chief minister in the early 1980s. He was a very proud, and even arrogant, man. But he himself plunged into a dusty godown of the state secretariat and rummaged through all the discarded artefacts to find the portrait he knew existed. As it was being installed, once again he himself stepped across the road from Mantralaya to make sure all passers-by could see and appreciate Shivaji’s portrait despite the distance.
Then he set about the restoration of Shivaji’s forts, commissioned a noted historian of the time to write a 14 volume history of Shivaji, and also made moves to recover Shivaji’s Sword, the Bhavani Talwar, from the Queen of Great Britain.
