💨 Abstract

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat asserts that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, founder of the Maratha empire in the 17th century, was the first to effectively counter foreign invasions in India. Bhagwat notes that Shivaji Maharaj ended the era of continuous defeats to foreign invaders, including Mughal aggression, and inspired subsequent waves of resistance by regional leaders.
