Shivaji’s actual prominence lay in his character and practical ability. Unfailing insight into character of others, efficiency of arrangements which are viable and beneficial under the circumstances, these are the causes of success in his life. To this, must be added his personal morality and loftiness of aim, which drew to his side the best mind of his community, while his universal tolerance and insistence on equal justice gave satisfaction of all the classes of subjects of his rule. His success fired the imagination of his contemporaries such as Vir Chatrasal of Bundelkhand.
However his empire was lost within nine years of his death, but the everlasting achievement of his life was unification of Maratha as a society and a nation in addition his most precious legacy was the spirit and pride that he breathed in to his people.
Though his enemies were also in competent at some occasions, but his success sprung from higher source then their ineptitude’s I regard him as the only great conservative genius and nation builder that the Hindu race has ever produced.
Shivaji has shown that, tree of Hinduism is not really dead, it can put forth new leaves and branches, and it can again lift up its head to the skies.
