The Makers of India: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

The Makers of India is an initiative by Sarmang Adventure Tours to remember the roles of  the persons who contributed in making India a great nation. We are coming up with a series of virtual walk, run and ride on their birth anniversary and other important days.

We are coming up with virtual event on birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on 19 February. 

Chhatrapati Shivaji, the creator of the Maratha Empire, was born on February 19, 1630 at Shivneri Fort in Pune. Shivaji is credited with establishing a progressive civil rule with well-structured administrative organisations. Shivaji's military forces expanded the Maratha influence, capturing and building forts and forming a strong navy.

The Maratha emperor's birth anniversary is celebrated as Shiv Jayanti or Shivaji Jayanti. It is a public holiday in Maharashtra.

The Maratha king also revived ancient Hindu political traditions and court conventions. He promoted Marathi and Sanskrit instead of Persian in his court and administration.

In the mid-19th century, social reformer Jyotirao Phule reinterpreted Shivaji, portraying him as a hero of the lower castes. He sought to use myths about Shivaji to attack Brahmins, who he accused of controlling the dominant narrative.
