Shivaji Maharaj
The great Maratha Warrior
India was ale\ways a magnet for invaders. And invaders always found resistance from local rulers. The most formidable resistance any invader faced was mounted by the Marathas whose patriotic instincts were roused by the bigotry of Aurangzeb. So skillful and concerted was the Maratha campaign that they set up the first nation state in India.
