PM Modi also said that the works done by Shivaji Maharaj on various fronts, including effective use of marine power and watershed management, are still imitable.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said it was difficult to imagine what the present form of India would have been if Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was not there, and added that his ''Hindavi swarajya'' was the finest example of good governance. He also said that the works done by Shivaji Maharaj on various fronts, including effective use of marine power and watershed management, are still imitable. PM Modi made the remarks in his 11-minute-long pre-recorded video message that was played during the public felicitation programme of renowned historian and author Babasaheb Purandare. Mr Purandare, known for his works on Shivaji Maharaj, celebrated his 100th birthday on July 29. A recipient of Padma Vibhushan, he is popularly known as ''Shiv Shahir'' (King Shivaji's bard). Mr Purandare has written and directed historical play "Janata Raja" (1985) that was performed by over 200 artistes and translated and enacted in five languages.
