Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was a visionary Indian king who remains a powerful symbol of courage, self-rule, and national pride. He rose from a regional chieftain to become the independent sovereign of the Maratha kingdom. His reign (1674–1680) was defined by astute military tactics, a vast network of forts for defense and administration, and an emphasis on efficient, merit-based governance. His commitment to religious tolerance and the welfare of his common people set a high standard for leadership in the 17th century.
