Shivaji is one of the most inspiring personalities in our history.
We know lot of stories how a group of friends have got-together and have built a sucessfull rock bands....but getting together with a handful of guys and building an empire which dethrowned the mughals and checked the europeans and british!!
Even some europeans then had some good things to say about his valour and strategies...
Wikipedia has some good accounts on him.
But then I wonder why there has not been a single film/ TV serial on him as yet? I guess this may have something to do with the commerical aspect, perhaps such stuff wont sell elsewhere....

You are really making a mockery of a great personality with your statements. Please don't spread bad comments about the King Shivaji

If you don't know about history then don't write here. Shivaji created nval force under Angres & build sea forts along Konkan coast to stop Europian powers from taking part into local politics. It is only after Placi's famous fight in Bengal which give encouragement to British to take part in Indian politics. That was after 100 yrs of Shivaji's death

'hand in hand with british against indian kings' - who tells you these stories?
For your information.. wikipedia can be edited by anyone, but it is verfied within a week and if some facts look distorted..they are removed eventually. I myself have edited tons of articles there..., dont tell me about it. Do you understand this? If not 'by heart' this.

i resisted my best not to reply...but it will help if you go and read about wiki pages how they operate..how some editions with citations get removed etc...
Anyways point is though wiki operates in public domain...it has a mechanism in place which ens sures the articles remain authentic... despite people like you arnd who would be putting tainted figures/facts in it. Right?
chill out...dude... no one is perfect in life...may be there are some negatives associated with shivaji,...like any other idol ...what matters is the bottomline...i am sure the postives of shivaji will out weigh the negatives(in case those exist) ..by a fair margin.
Take some time out of work..climb come mountain..how about grouse? No ..actually whistler is the real deal.

Amazing - If you fight to save your country - they called you dacoit. When foreigners invades, converts, destroyed and plunder - we make praise nad films.
