Col. Anil Athley had given a small example. There are numerous examples where todyays muslim society disagree with their contribution in Maratha struggal against the invaders right from Great Shivaji's time.
Most of the native Musilms lost their voice coz of growing influx of North Indian muslims in the Maharashtra region. These north Indian muslims are more dominant and fierce. They undermine the liberal native marathi muslim voice coz of their lack of history knowledge about Maratha empire.
Col. Athley gave just one example. There are many such examples present in maratha history. Sayyad Banda was body guard of Shivaji when Afjal khan tried to kill shivaji. Sayyad not only covered Shivaji but slit Afjal's neck.
Being a Parsi, I am proud of the region where I grew up and I uphold the legend of great Maratha!
