Shivaji Va Suraj (Hindi) : Chhatrapati Shivajis Leadership and Governance | Indian History | Maratha Empire | Political History

Shivaji and Swaraj In our present circumstances, the new system that seems necessary to all of us will have to be constructed keeping in mind the same eternal fundamental characteristics of leadership and society dedicated by Shivaji Maharaj. From this perspective, this book is a catalyst for study and contemplation. Shivaji imbued all sections with the spirit of nationalism and created a system in which all departments were created and run efficiently. Portuguese Viceroy Carl de St. Vincent compared Maharaj to Alexander and Caesar. Unfortunately, some Indian historians have not given Shivaji due respect. Prakash Singh Former Director General Border Security Force and Director General Uttar Pradesh Police/Assam Police While many of us are familiar with Shivajis military feats, his administrative acumen and wisdom were a revelation. The deep thought behind his prescriptions has immense relevance for todays administrators and these chapters would immensely benefit those who have chosen a career in public service. With regards, Vijay Singh Former Defense Secretary Government of India It is harsh but true that India has become a mere playground for traders. Shivaji Maharajs politics and statecraft are like nectar and life-giving water. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharajs governance system is a proven and proven grand project. Shri Anil Dabbe has introduced us to it in this book. Members of the Indian Parliament and every Legislative Assembly should study this book. Baba Saheb Purandare, Pune * The king (leader) should set his own eating and drinking times. Generally, he should not disclose them. The king should not consume intoxicants. He should also not allow those working around him to consume these substances. When the king does not have weapons, he should not stare at the ground for long periods of time. * What was his (leaders) personal and royal treasury when he took the oath at the beginning of a task? And what was the condition of both the funds when he retired? Their difference is his financial character. * Shivaji - Kanhoji, I had promised you not to give him death penalty, so I followed it, but if no punishment (to Khandoji Khepada) was given, what message would have gone to the people in Swaraj that between treason and acquaintance, acquaintance is bigger! Would this have been appropriate for Swaraj? * It is the first duty of every leader to first remove the traitor from his system, get him punished and strictly stop the tendency of treason from growing.
