Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji! 🇮🇳 Seeing the PM and actors pay tribute on Shiv Jayanti is great, but the real tribute is in our actions. We must all strive to embody his values of courage and righteousness in our daily lives, not just one day a year.

Respect to Riteish for this. He's right about educating children. In schools across India, we need more focus on regional heroes like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj alongside the national curriculum. His military strategies and administrative skills are lessons in management even today!

As someone who recently moved to Pune, learning about Shivaji Maharaj's history has been fascinating. His legacy is truly everywhere here. It's good to see such public commemorations that help everyone, locals and newcomers alike, connect with the region's rich heritage.

While the tribute is appreciated, I hope the focus remains on Shivaji Maharaj's universal message of 'Swarajya' and welfare for all, rather than letting it become a political symbol. His life teaches us to rise above narrow divisions. Let's keep that spirit alive.
