During the seventeenth century, the Mughals reigned supreme over Northern and Central India. In the Deccan endless battles were fought between other kings like Adil Shah of Bijapur and chiefs like the Nawab of Janjira. The common man suffered at the hands of the officers as well as the marauding chieftains.
At such a period was Shivaji born. He was the son of a brave father Shahaji raaje and a wise and loving mother Jijabai. These two and teacher Dadoji Konddeo were the moldings influences on Shivaji's character. The flame of freedom burnt in the little boy's heart. He collected around him a band of devoted followers and as they grew up they swore to throw off the yoke of alien rule.
I am trying to compile here, life and times of Shivaji and how he carried out the ambitious plans with success.
Times have changed and India now again needs dedicated and devoted sons and daughters to keep the flame burning..! Hope life of Shivaji will inspire us to rekindle the spirit of patriotism in our hearts and we contribute to make India strong and resurgent again!
