| Chhatrapati Shivaji |
This book is written by Lala Lajpat Rai on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji to bust the myth spread by authors that no brave warrior was ever born in Hindu society. If the Hindu religion is alive in India, then it is because of kind-heartedness. Lala Lajpat Rai busted that myth in this book. He said that the Hindu religion is alive because numberless Hindu warriors protected the Hindu religion with their blood.
Muslims were not able to rule more than 10% of the land. They were confined to big cities. They did not have the courage to go to 90% of the land which was controlled by Hindus. In the 10% land where Muslims were really ruling no Hindu temple was left and everyone was forced to convert to Islam.
Shivaji was born in a time of Muslim dominance. He fought bravely with Muslim oppressors with help of thousands of brave warriors. Muslims were afraid to enter his territory. This book is really helpful in understanding the history of India.
