Shivaji: A Saga of building a Hindu empire

Shivaji was a unique Hindu king who could defy mighty Mughal rulers in establishing a Hindu Empire for the first time after a lapse of 1000 years of slavery since 647 AD stretching from Delhi to Tamil Nadu. He built up this entire empire all alone without the help of even his own family except his mother Jijabai.A brilliant leader, a just ruler, women liberator and a statesman of consummate craft who was kept uneducated deliberately by his Brahmin Guru Dadaji Konda Dev. However, Shivaji was able to outwit French, Dutch, Portuguese, and British in establishing his reign and even establishing a navy too.Since he was always at war therefore barely had a time to deice new system & rules to manage his subject of the kingdom. Shivaji could not enforce reforms in Hindu society which was riddled with excesses of brahminshai which always supported Mughal rule. He resented Mughals dominance because Hindu rulers accepted vassal of Mugals instead of joining Hindu confederation to oust Mughals.An interesting, engrossing and vibrant epic of Shivaji’s advenrures who could conceive an Hindu Empire in 17th century.Read more
