Veer Shivaji Warrior King: The Saga of Veer Shivaji (Architect of Maratha Empire) A Biography of Chhatrapati Shivaji in Hindi) T

History recounts events and circumstances, in which the truth of life remains shrouded in mystery. The scope of history ends with the question of why and when, and it rarely considers how. This consideration lies within the realm of literature. History is more aware of events than life, and literature is more aware of life than events. Shivaji met Afzal Khan at his invitation. Khan treacherously attacked Shivaji; but he was prepared. He confronted him and defeated him. The purpose of history ends with this.But to describe Shivajis inner conflict at the time of their meeting, what Afzal Khan was thinking, and how the entire Maratha army gazed intently into a mysterious futureall this is beyond the scope of history. But a biography requires both. Where history points to the external aspect of truth, fiction reveals its inner truth. Therefore, to bring truth to life, to paint a vivid picture, a touch of imagination is also required. But this imagination is not of a fairyland that transforms a person into a golden bird; rather, it breathes life into the flesh and blood men described in history and confines them to a walking, laughing, and talking human being before the readers. This novel also attempts to present Shivaji to the readers in a similar way.Shivaji emerged at a time when the Mughals held absolute rule over all of India. The Indian people were terrified by the atrocities of Aurangzeb. Even in such difficult circumstances, Shivaji, with his valor, martial skills, and intelligence, gave the Mughals a tough fight and raised the flag of Hindutva and Hindu rule.This novel offers an analytical, historical, and authentic account of the interesting, thrilling, and inspiring events of Shivajis life.
