FESTIVALS 
HINDU SAMRAJYA DINOTSAV

Shivaji's extraordinary achievement lay precisely in establishing such a centre of people's faith which even after his death continued to inspire his successors to enlarge their area of freedom-battle so as to encompass a major part of the country in course to time. They even finally succeeded in breaking the backbone of the Islamic hegemony both of the Moghals and the Deccanites. To Shivaji, undoubtedly, belongs the chief credit of lighting up the torch of the final freedom struggle against the several centuries old Islamic aggression, and ultimately reducing that foreign slavery to ashes.

Rightly did the great Hindi bard Bhushana, who forsook the royal favors of the Moghal court to come over to Shivaji to record his glories, sing:

Kashiji ki kalaa jaati, Mathura masjid hoti |
Shivaji na hote to sunnat hoti sab ki ||

(The artistic beauty of Benaras would have perished, Mathura would have turned into a masjid, and all would have been circumcised, had not Shivaji been born).
