Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday paid tribute to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on his 346th death anniversary, saying that he kept a strong sense of self-respect while keeping the flame of religion ignited.

Taking it to X, the Chief Minister recalled Shivaji Maharaj's commitment to protect the religion, governance, and unparalleled valour, setting examples for millions.

He further highlighted his courage, devotion, farsightedness, and a sense of self-respect. He said that Shivaji Maharaj was a shining example of justice, strength, and patriotism.

'His life is an unparalleled example of indomitable courage, farsightedness, and unwavering devotion to the motherland. Even in adverse circumstances, he kept the flame of religion, self-respect, and justice aglow, thereby strengthening the national consciousness," he said.

He wrote, "I take refuge in the swift-as-wind messenger, conqueror of the senses, foremost among the wise, son of the wind-god, chief of the monkey troop, the emissary of Lord Rama."

He also conveyed his best wishes to all residents of the state on the occasion, stating, "Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the residents of the province on the occasion of Lord Hanuman's birth festival. May the grace of mighty Bajrang Bali infuse your lives with knowledge, devotion, indomitable courage, focus, happiness, prosperity, and excellent health--this is my prayer."

As someone who has studied Indian history, Shivaji Maharaj's administrative skills and naval vision were truly ahead of his time. His emphasis on 'Swarajya' and welfare of his people is a lesson for all leaders, even today.

While paying tribute is good, I wish our current leaders would also embody his practical governance and justice for all, regardless of community. His respect for women and all religions is often overlooked in modern political narratives.

His death anniversary always makes me emotional. Growing up in Maharashtra, we heard so many stories of his bravery and wisdom from our grandparents. He wasn't just a king; he was a protector of the common people. A real hero!

The part about 'exemplary governance' hits home. With so many issues in our system today, revisiting the administrative models of kings like Shivaji, who were close to their people, could offer valuable insights. A timeless legacy.
