Essay: My Favourite Hero


It was in 1627. A star shone on the dark horizons of India bound in the chains of Moghul rule. A son was born to Shahaji and Jijabai on the fort Shivneri in Maharashtra who later proved to be an angel of freedom. He was Shivaji, the great freedom fighter of Maharashtra. He is my favourite hero. Shivaji is not unknown to anybody of us. Even today we know and admire him as a brave and king. But what he was not made in a day. His mother jijabai took endless efforts to build up and cut out (shape) his personality. Shivaji had the blessing of having a great mother like her. She sowed virtues in him in his childhood by telling him stories of brave heroes from the great epics like Ramayana, Mahabharat and Puranas. With this she impressed on his sensitive mind the love for his motherland India and its rich religious and cultural heritage.

She made him learn using different weapons and war-tactics from Guru Dadoji Kondadeo Mother Jijabai and Guru Dadoji were the king makers of Shivaji. When Shivaji grew up he himself understood the immoral, tyrant and oppressive rule of Moghuls. He raised up his sward and called out for a fight for freedom. He gathered around him a handful of brave and loyal Maratha warners, 'Mayalas' as they are called and took an oath of freedom. He had to fight with Bijapur and then with the Moghuls. Shivaji was keen on winning the forts in Maharashtra. For winning Pratapgad, he had to kill Afzal Khan, the army-general of Bijapur, with a wonderful trick and courage. It was the most brilliant victory in his career as a king His thrilling escape from the treacherous imprisonmeil by Aurangazeb at Delhi has become one of the most famous and drammatic escapes in history. After this though Shivaji enthroned himself at Ftaigad as a king, he was not fortunate to live long enough to strengthen his kingdom further. He died in 1680.

Life of Shivaji is an epic full of many thrilling episodes and grand struggles for freedom. He was an ideal ruler, a brave warner and a wise and just king. He was a master in planning war strategies. His guerilla warfare (ganimi km) broke the back-bone of the Moghul empire. He was a genious man of great capacity. He as a good statesman introduced his own system of 'Cabinate of Eight ministers' (Ashla Pradan Mandal.) Shivaji is the personality which people adore and love for his virtues. It was due to him that the great national, cultural and religious heritage of India was saved from diminishing. Shivaji stands out as a man who placed before us an ideal of national freedom and founded a strong edifice of India's freedom from Moghul rule.

Shivaji is the true son of mother India. His life inspires us.i love and admires him. His name is carved in golden letters in history for ever.
