Jadunath Sarkar wrote the Bengali Historical Book Shivaji.
Whenever the glory of the Marathas ended, Shivaji was not responsible for it; Such a downfall has not dimmed his achievements, but rather made them shine by showing the contrary example. His character was endowed with many virtues. His motherly devotion, filial piety, sense-control, religious devotion, devotion to saints, abstinence from luxury, industriousness and generosity to all communities were unmatched in other dynasties, even in many households of that era. As a king, he used all the power of the kingdom to protect the chastity of women, suppress the riots of his army, respect the temples and scriptures of all religions, and maintain the sanctity of saints.
What is the place in history of Shivaji?
To understand how fundamental and how great Shivaji’s talent is, one must remember that he achieved something impossible in medieval India. No Hindu before him was able to stand against the mighty Mughal Empire, as bright as the midday sun; All were defeated and crushed and disappeared. Seeing that, the son of this common Jagirdar was not afraid, rebelled and won in the end! This is because Shivaji’s character had an unprecedented combination of courage and determination; He could understand in a moment, how far to advance, where to stop – what policy is best to adopt, – exactly what can be done with these people and money. This is the sign of the highest political talent. This efficiency and acumen are the main reasons for his amazing success in life.
In the light of Shivaji’s glory, the sky of India was revealed. Aurangzeb, the Chakraborty emperor of North and South India, possessed immense wealth and a huge army, but could not suppress this illegitimate son of the Jagirdar of the Bijapur state.
