Shivray was born a Maratha, but he is not a king of the Marathas. He still rules over the hearts of millions of Hindus worldwide. He is a role model and legend for every Hindu.

Great Marathas 🚩🚩 great podcast 💐💐

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is our true god. Without him, there would have been no India and no Hinduism. Everything would have been green with our blood.

The Marathas did not fight for their forts, cities, towns, families, or hereditary right to rule their state. They shed their blood for Hinduism across India.

At Panipat, the Marathas sacrificed at least one son from almost every home.

Where are the great forts, palaces, gold, and jewellery of the Marathas? We do not see them because they used their wealth to build armies and temples across India.

My favorite historian. She is so through in her knowledge. Request Smita Prakash to do a podcast on Maharani Chennama.

Shivaji Maharaj was also referred to as “Shivaba” by the contemporary people, especially the old population, because they used to love him so much.

Medha mam, many congratulations on your growth in popularity and success with more podcasts and books published! Thank you, for spreading the word about the Maratha empire and the roles of those brave Hindu kings and rulers in building our nation. A special thanks for giving justice to the brave and courageous women of India and for paying respect to them through your writing and lectures. Now I think you can call yourself a historian, not just an author or a microbiologist 😊

Marathas hold very important place in indian history coz they finished off the mughals . We need more historians like on lachit borphukan, gujara pratihara, gupta empire ,rashtrakutas,cholas of t nadu ,palas of bengal, kakatiyas of andhra telangana ,pandyas,rajputs all of them
