Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was one of India’s greatest warrior-kings and the founder of the Maratha Empire in the 17th century. Known for his unmatched courage, sharp military tactics, and visionary leadership, he rose to power during a time of political turmoil and foreign rule, establishing a kingdom rooted in justice, self-rule (Swarajya), and cultural pride.
Born in 1630 at Shivneri Fort, Shivaji was deeply influenced by his mother Jijabai’s teachings and the spirit of independence. He built a formidable navy, developed a strong network of forts across the Western Ghats, and led daring guerrilla warfare campaigns that challenged mighty Mughal and foreign forces. He was not only a brilliant strategist but also a just and humane ruler who respected all religions and focused on the welfare of his people.
