HinduPadpadshahi (Hindi Edition)

Shivaji Maharaj wrote in a letter, God himself has it in his heart to establish Hindu Swarajya. That brave young man initiated the revolutionary war. In a letter sent to a companion in Shalivahan Samvat 1567 (1645 AD), Shivaji Maharaj refuted the accusation that he had committed the sin of treason by resisting the Shah of Bijapur. He also awakened the spirit of higher ideals by reminding them that if they had a loyal bond with anyone, it was with God, not with any king or emperor.In that letter, he wrote, Did you not take an oath with Acharya Dadaji Konddev and your companions on the peak of the Sahyadri Mountains, with God as witness, to continue the fight until the goal was achieved and to establish Hindavi Swarajya, or Hindu rule, in Hindustan? God himself has bestowed this glory upon us, and he is about to fulfill our desire by establishing the Hindu Swarajya. It is in the heart of God himself that this kingdom be established. The mere words Hindavi Swarajyafrom the pen of Shivaji Maharajguided Maharashtras life and duty for more than a century, revealing its true nature in a way that was unmatched by anything else.The Maratha struggle, from the very beginning, was not limited to individuals or a specific group. It was a Hindu struggle, fought to protect Hinduism, to wipe out foreign Muslim rule, and to establish an independent and powerful Hindu Swarajya.
