350 Years Of The Rajyabhishek Of OG Hindu Hriday Samrat: Shivaji Quiz And Podcasts!

On this day, 350 years ago...

Dear Readers,

Today we celebrate the 350th anniversary of the coronation of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a momentous occasion in our civilisational story.

This was not just another coronation.

It was the one that gave the clarion call for Hindavi Swarajya at a time when the confidence of this mighty civilisation was at a grave low.

• It was the beginning of a reclamation struggle that shook the foundations of occupiers and their oppressive rule.

• It laid the foundation for a long and sustained Dharmik rejuvenation that is still ongoing and will keep inspiring generations to come.

In any awakened society, this day would be celebrated no lesser than an independence day.

Soon enough — when we pen down our motherland's corrected and decolonised history.

For today, Swarajya brings you 'The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Quiz'. Try it here.

Two lucky winners stand a chance to get a surprise gift from Swarajya.

As a prep for the quiz, why not use these riveting conversations on Shivaji Maharaj, the OG Hindu Hridaya Samrat's life and adventures?

Here are the top three podcasts that we recommend:

1. Shivaji: The Great Maratha

2. Chhatrapati Shivaji's Formidable Navy

3. Shivaji Mahasamrat: The Whirlwind

Until tomorrow then,

Anmol Jain
