Synopsis

Among the mighty kings that adorn the annals of Indian history, Shivaji's name stands out as the one responsible for the momentous national revival that laid the foundation of Maratha Swarajya. His admirers hail him as the maker of Maharashtra, the liberator of the Hindus, the destroyer of Muslim sovereignty in India, the prophet of patriotism,and the apostle of Hindu culture. His military achievements have undoubtedly placed him in the galaxy of the world-famous conquerors like Alexander, Caesar Hannibal and Napoleon. Considered as the pole-star of Indian Swarajya, it was natural that myths and legends developed on the life and times of Shivaji, so much so, that at times it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. However, the aim of this book has been to construct the story of Shivaji from original materials obtained through scrupulous research of the Indian records.
