Posting on X, HM Shah wrote: "I pay homage at the feet of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Ji, the immortal symbol of Indian pride and the protector of national honour."

"For the protection of religion and culture, he united the people and established Hindavi Swaraj. Understanding the importance of control over the seas, the powerful navy he built is a reflection of his unparalleled strategic acumen and visionary leadership. His life exemplifies how a ruler can safeguard both cultural heritage and native language while also establishing ideals of public welfare. His tireless struggle and life story will continue to inspire the people of the country for eternity to dedicate themselves to the motherland," he added.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath shared his homage, which highlighted Shivaji Maharaj's courage, leadership, and dedication to India's cultural heritage.

"A symbol of indomitable courage, unparalleled bravery, and excellent governance, the founder of 'Hindavi Swaraj,' national hero Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, is respectfully remembered on his death anniversary. His dedicated life and high ideals for the protection of the motherland and the revival of Sanatan culture serve as a great inspiration for all of us," CM Yogi wrote (loosely translated from Hindi).

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is celebrated for establishing Hindavi Swaraj, uniting people under a sovereign administration rooted in cultural values.

He is also remembered for building a strong navy to secure coastal regions and trade routes, reflecting his strategic vision. His administration emphasised welfare, justice, and the protection of native language and traditions, making him an enduring symbol of leadership and patriotism.

Respectful tribute, but sometimes I feel our politicians remember greats like Shivaji Maharaj only on anniversaries. His ideals of public welfare and justice should be actively implemented in governance today, not just praised in speeches.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is a hero for all Indians, not just one region or community. His life teaches us about courage, smart planning, and love for one's culture. We need to teach more about such figures in our schools.

His focus on 'Hindavi Swaraj'—self-rule rooted in our native ethos—is more relevant now than ever. Building a powerful navy to protect our coasts shows incredible foresight. A real role model for nation-building.
