Celebrating Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s birth anniversary, Home Minister Amit Shah portrayed him as the architect of Hindavi Swaraj whose indomitable spirit fuels contemporary India. On X, Shah extolled Shivaji’s early resolve for dharma defense, forging a unified army from diverse groups to shield nation and ethos.
Rare are leaders matching Shivaji’s grit, valor, and foresight, which reshaped a Mughal-choked Maharashtra into self-rule’s cradle, extending influence nationwide. Shah’s speech fragment captured the era’s hopelessness, contrasted by a boy’s bold promise to restore bhagwa dominance pan-India.
Shivaji’s masterstroke: inclusive mobilization yielding an invincible legion that crumbled 200-year tyranny, reaching Bengal and South India, reviving faith in preserved heritage. Today, 75 years free, India eyes world No.1 status by 2047, grounded in Shivaji’s principles.
Shah echoed Shivaji’s mandate for perpetual Swaraj battle and Swadharma honor, propelled forward by PM Modi. He advocated universal education on Shivaji’s character to inspire future generations toward national greatness.
