Chatrapati Shivaji's The great Warrior

By Sudesh DJV May 26, 2019

This page is dedicated to conveying various facts about Shri Chatrapati Shivaji one of the greatest sons born in India. He was not only a great emperor who was ruling a huge part of India during his regime but also a great Soul who had high values and principles in life. Our ambition is to spread maximum information about the great soul which unfortunately most of the Indians do not know.

Information 1

Vietnam defeated America after the war that lasted for 20 long years. After the victory journalist asked the Vietnam President, "How the victory was achieved? How did Vietnam defeat a country like America"!?

The President answered, "actually, to defeat a country like America was impossible. Yet, a legendary Warrior King's story gave me the confidence and valor to make it happen. The war strategy was planned from this inspiration and we executed it. We won!"

"Who was that great king?"

With due respect, the President said, "he is none other than "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj" who fought against the Mughal Islamist terrorists all alone!! If Vietnam had Kings like him we would have ruled the world!!"

A few years later the President passed away. He had asked to carve the following words at his resting place. "Resting place of a humble soldier of Shivaji Maharaj." We can see these words at the Vietnam President's Samadhi Sthal even now.

After a few years, the External Affairs Minister of Vietnam visited India. As per the scheduled programs, he was taken to the Red Fort and Gandhiji's Samadhi Sthal, and other places. But he asked where the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Samadhi Sthal was? The Indian official replied in astonishment that it is in Raigad, Maharashtra.

The Ministers of Vietnam came to Raigad and paid respect at Shivaji Maharaj's resting place. And then he took a handful of soil and deposited it with reverence in his bag. Watching this the journalists asked why he did that. He said, "this is the soil of valor and victory where the great Shivaji Maharaj was born and grown-up. I will mix this soil with Vietnam as soon as I reach there. Let Vietnam have brave men like Shivaji Maharaj.

We won't find such incidents in any of the textbooks because it is some people's vested interest and the decision that we should not learn about Indian brave Warriors.

'Shivaji, the Management Guru' is a full subject at Boston University..

"From Kabul to Kandahar my Taimur family created the Mogul Sultanate. Iraq, Iran, Turkistan, and in many more countries my army defeated ferocious warriors. But in India Shivaji put brakes on us. I spent my maximum energy on Shivaji but could not bring him to his knees.

Ya Allah, you gave me an enemy, fearless and upright, please keep your doors to heaven open for him because the world's best and large-hearted warrior is coming to you."

Aurangzeb (After Shivaji's death, while reading Namaz)

"That day Shivaji just didn't chop off my fingers but also chopped off my pride. I fear to meet him even in my dreams."

--Shahista Khan.

"Is there no man left to defeat Shivaji in my kingdom??"

- Frustrated Begum Ali Adilshah.

"Had Shivaji lived for another ten years, the British would not have seen the face of India."

-- A British Governor

If India needs to be made independent then there is only one way out, 'Fight like Shivaji'."*

--Netaji

"Shivaji is just not a name, it is an energy source for Indian youth, which can be used to make India free."*

- Swami Vivekananda.

The famous war of Umberkhind is mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records:

*"The 30,000 strong army of Kartalab Khan from Uzbekistan was defeated by mere 1000 mawalas of Shivaji. Not a single Uzbeki was left alive to return back home."*

Shivaji was a King of International fame. In the span of 30 yrs of his career, he fought with only two Indian warriors. All the others were outsiders.

Shahista Khan, who feared Shivaji even in his dreams was King of Abu Taliban and Turkistan.

Behlol Khan Pathan, Sikandar Pathan, Chidar Khan Pathan were all warrior sardars of Afghanistan.

Diler Khan Pathan was the great warrior of Mongolia. All of them bit the dust in front of Shivaji.

Sidhhi Jowhar and Salaba Khan were Iranian warriors, who got defeated by Shivaji.

Sidhhi Jowhar later planned a sea attack. In response, Shivaji raised a navy, the first Indian Navy. But before accomplishing the task Shivaji left this world. (He was poisoned.)
