Abstract

In history lot of Kings ruled India, but we are remembering very few of them. One Such king was Shivaji Maharaj. In medieval India, where Kings were not answerable for welfare of masses, where life of ordinary man had oppressed and demoralized, Shivaji Maharaj established a State where King was caretaker of ordinary persons. He roused the unrevealed capacities of youth. He created self-confidence and made them realize that it was noble to fight against the alien forces of bigotry and intolerance to preserve their cherished values of life. Shivaji Maharaj’s enemies were well equipped, well-armed and with ample resources. However, Shivaji Maharaj with his handful of resources and brave, loyal Maratha people defeated his mighty enemies. Success story of Shivaji Maharaj revealed application of various modern management techniques, applied by Shivaji Maharaj in his struggle for establishment of Swaraj (homeland).
