We call Shivaji Maharaj a great man. We celebrate his birth anniversary with great pomp and reverence. It is a happy day for you children. You sing songs and 'Powadas' in his honour. You garland his picture and say 'Shivaji Maharaj Ki Jay'. Who was Shivaji Maharaj ? What was the great work he did that we celebrate his birthday every year ?
The time in which Shivaji Maharaj lived was that of the medieval period. In those days, monarchy or the rule of king prevailed everywhere. Many of the kings pursued their own pleasure and enjoyments instead of the welfare of their subjects.a. But even in those days, there were some kings who looked after the Walefare of their subjects. The Mogul Emperor Akbar in the north and Emperor Krishnadevrya of Vijaynagar in the south are famous in history for their benevolent rele. Likewise. Shivaji Maharaj also commands great respect even today.
