💨 Abstract

Chhatrapati Shivaji, a 17th-century Maratha king, is being reimagined today as a symbol of Hindu assertion, with statues erected in various locations. Despite this politicization, Shivaji's impact on Indian history is significant, with his military strategies, administrative reforms, and complex relationship with religion being key factors in the rise of the Maratha empire.
