1. dacoits do not build permanent home with the fear of attack same shivaji didnt have big forts like forts of mughals or rajasthani kings because mughals and rajsthani kings had courage they could save their their fort so they had courage to live in fort but shivaji and his men used to stay in small hill top gadhis and when mughal sena used to come to beat them they were running in forsets leaving their gadhis and when mughals gone they will return and ask farmers chauth but they didnt nothing to save farmers from mughals ...

rajesh - it is a utter shame that you, being and Indian (industani) or Hindu, writing such unpatriotic comments in this forum. You totally lack knowledge in History - as far as my understanding goes on King Shivaji, in those days, the mughals have invaded India and making it a totally pro-muslim country by killing hindus, subjecting them to injustice, marrying and or raping the hindu females, making them slaves to quench their lust etc. King Shivaji is one of those patriotic Indian who, with his limited force and support, fought with these mughals in every way he could. While he knew very well that a straight fight would not be successful, he adopted the other way to resist their fenatic activities. It is the movement of Shivaji that inspired other parts of India and Indians to think about fighting against slavory - in fact the freedom movement was created by Shivaji.

Shivaji's marathas had defeated the Mughal Emperor to capture Delhi which your Rajasthani kings could never even dare to think of. Infact Shivaji should not be called a King he should be called an 'Emperor', for once i agree with Modi totally. An undeniable fact is Hindu kings & emperors were always secular.

Shivaji was one king unmatched in his abilities, he is one of the best leaders of men in not only in all time history of the Indian subcontinent but also in the world. He should be ranked alongside greats like Alexander & Napoleon. Shivaji had torn apart tall & well built Afzal Khan with his own bare hands, in combat, which other emperor (incl mughal emperors) can even dare to think of coming face to face with such strong adversary, let alone defeat him. Shivaji was not a king who would sit in the comfort of their huge palaces and give only orders to the army, he always led from the front.

Are Rajesh kis book se history padhi hai bhai. Lagta hai Pakistan mein padha likha hain. Waise waha to Arangzeb ke siva kuch sikhate nahi hain. You are talking about Rajputs who became mansabdars in Mughal Kingdom just for some previliges. Read some good books of known historians. Chatrapati Shivaji may not have built big forts but he created the fire for Independence against Yavani rule. GO to any fort in Maharashtra and you will realise the greatness of this National Hero. Jai Shivaji, Jai Hind Jai Maharashtra

If shivaji was a dacoit,he robbed the mughals who were terrorising the people of maharashtra.the committed actrocities on the people,looted them,forcefully converted them to islam.Shivaji raje did not build big forts like mughals or mewar kings,because like them he was not selfish or greedy.He cared for the people,by building large forts and palaces,mughals & mewar kings lived a life of luxury & adultery.THey never cared for their people (except for a few).Themughal kings never fought wars from the front.they used to send their men and they used to stay back and watch.The topography of maharashtra is such that in Western Ghats & Konkan where shivaji raje build forts,they were on the top of mountains or in remote places.If u do not have knowledge about geographical area of maharashtra do not make any damn comments.Shivaje raje had scare resources in form of men & money,because everything had been started from scratch.The peasants were trained and made into fighting soldiers.the soldiers when not in combat used to go & work in the fields.SO life was a great of utmost importance.In case of ur comment on Shivaji raje & his men fleeing is totally baseless.Because he had to win the war not small battles.When the battles were against him he backtracked,to save lives of his men for larger battles ahead,which he won.So idiot person like u cannot understand him.Maharana Pratap also followed the same principles in the battlefield against mughals.Shivaji rahe collected chauth from the fa

I agree that decoits do not buiil permenant homes. Well said. However, Rajputs could built huge forts which still remain intact because adn follow a luxurious life style, as they pioneered the tradition of marrying the Mughal rulers to protect their own kingdoms. Mughal army was owned by Mughals but served by hoards of Rajputs. Coming to Shivaji, it was strategic to buiil forts on the mountains when it comes to fight a huge army, first of Nizams then of Mughals. Anyway, a person like you will never understand this because your understanding is in a sorry state. A piece o advise, please visit one fort in Maharashtra and then feel the heat in your pants while climing it on foot. Then comment. I feel sorry for those who without reading enough of history, take pride to comment on things which they have not even read in their wildest of the dreams. Please take a break from your routine, if affordable and read Maratha history. There are several instances recorded where the farmers remined protected under the rule of Shivaji and people from other religions had space to follow their own religion. I am aware that despite writing all these things, your notions won't change, as you are amongst those who are feel proud to be ignorant of facts and maintain a prerogative to make baseless and useless comments.
