There are a few people who change the course of history.Chhatrapati Shivaji is no doubt one among them.Before Shivaji Maharaj the history of Hindus is full of defeats.Hindu warrior kings fought very bravely,but they were defeated by the enemies of Hinduism. In the middle of seventh century,king Dahir of Sindh was attacked by Mohammad bin kasim.Dahir fought very bravely,but lost the war.In 1191 Mahmud Gauri attacked Delhi,he was defeated by the then king Prithvi Raj Chauhan.The king didn't kill him but forgave him and let him go.The very next year Gauri again attacked the King.Though Prithvi Raj Chauhan was very brave warrior and he with his great army fought back very bravely,but was defeated.The same Gauri, who was forgiven by the king killed him ruthlessly.That was the beginning of anti Hindu rule in India. Chhatrapati was born at a time when India was ruled by anti Hindu forces.Being a Hindu was a crime enough to be humiliated
