Chhatrapatee Shivajee Maharaj
One who created independent self government from scratch by the sweat of his brow, against strongest (in every sense from treasury to arm forces) of the enemies (Mughalshahi, Nijamshahi, Aadilshahi and loads of his own people) when they were at the pick of their strength...
One who lost all of his empire he has earned in 20 years in 4 months BUT resurrected it again with thousand fold of glory...
One who was arrested in Agra by the strongest mughal emperor- Aurangzeb, BUT managed to escape from crocodile's jaw with one of the best vanishing act history has ever seen...
One who fought hundreds of battles BUT did not burden common man with any extra tax...
One who appreciated importance of naval forces unlike his contemporaries, after around 600 years and created his own naval force (don't forget his introduction of this new industry in coastal area)...
One who not only focused on spread of his empire BUT who took care of his people as a mother with strong and we'll laid and managed administration...
One,in whose empire women could roam around at 12 o'clock at night without any fear (which has not been possible till date)...
One whose common people fought for about 27 years for his cause even after his death (there are only handful examples in history where common men fought for their self government without any monetary incentive)...
This list is unending, but have to stop somewhere...
Mahatraj (O' King) thanks a ton for these invisible and invincible armour of unbreakable spirit and self confidence...
And for those who celebrated his birth anniversary by treating him like a GOD, through all the show offs (loud music, garlanding his statute etc. etc.) must try to inculcate one of his humanly qualities, At least for one day...
