“When a man has begun to be ashamed of his ancestors, the end has come.”

(Swami Vivekananda in his speech on Hindu Religion and its common edifice, delivered at Lahore in 1897).

BJP PM candidate Narendra Modi while visiting Raigarh Fort said historians have been unjust to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj by portraying him just as a warrior and neglecting his facets such as a visionary king and an able administrator.
