Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

"Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj" the pride of Maharashtra & whole India. The Born warrior, great leader, intelligent politicion, strong person with clean character, Raaje, is weak & strong pint of Marathi people.
Yesterday i listened anews that there are abouty 2,78,000 books on The Neopolean, written by various authors around world. But are there at least 2,78,000 pages written on 'Chattrapati'? This wad really sad for me & i feel the need of telling the great history of Raaje to all those people who know very little about Raaje.
The image of Chattrapati in the minds of non-marathi people, due to lack of knowledge & intentionally hided history, is someone who loots poor people & tried to establish forcfully marathi empire on them. They are not aware abour this great Man, & even marathi people do not bother to tel them proudly. I am not talking about the authors , politicion or some few activists who actually do not in contact with common people. I am talking about the common marathi people who should feel proud about Raaje, not only feel it but alsoshould create awareness about him in other non-marathi people. They may be your collegue or friend, student, neighbour, business partner & many more. It is more important to tell them by you as you are respecting Raje & proudfully telling about him to others, they will also start to respect.

It all should be done with proper media, references, strong data, good examples & neat decent language, which will be understood by them.For that we should read his biography, articles, papers, journals related him. We should visit the mighty forts built during his kingdom, not just visit but also shoul help those forts remain clean, smaal contributions to trusts or group who are working for forts can so much. By respecting our history & historical monuments, we are respecting ourselves & then other people will start torespect our history.

Don't blame to so called outsiders as they are not hailing "Shivaji Raje", as they don't know exactly why they should hail. Who would like to praise anybody whom you do not know neatly.
