I bet people will accuse Shivaji and marathas army as being hindu fanatics. But people willingly forget who save hinduism from comple wipe out in the North( also thanks to the Sikh army) and protected the South from muslim onslaught until the Bristish arrived. We don't make big bolltwood film about about these victories either. We donot honour the protector of our land, but we seems to hounour the destroyer of our land too often.

How about thanking in the Rajputs, the Vijaynagarams, the Jats, the Gurkhas and the Sikhs. Shivaji just fought in Maharashtra. The Sikhs protected Punjab, the Rajputs Rajasthan, UP and Bihar. The Jats Western UP and Haryana, the Vijainagaram the Hindu culture, the Nepalese Gurkhas Nepal and Terai, the Tibetians Tibet and Ladakh. Why are Maharastrain stealing credit when they were just another people who protected themselves?
