Chhatrapati Shivaji is a name which resonates across the time and space as the very epitome of .
struggle against tyranny and injustice. Dark were the days when Indians were enslaved in their own .
lands by Turkish-Mongol overlords from Central Asia. After centuries of loot, plunder and genocide, .
Indian society was reduced to the state ofhelplessness and defeatism. The Mongols (Mughals) were ruling the Delhi and were aggressively expanding in the Deccan .
where people were already reeling under the oppressive feudal rule of Adilshahi and other Deccan .

It was in these dark times that Shivaji Raje raised the banner of freedom struggle. At the very .

no one. He raised the political consciousness of the common people and re-a·wakened the desire .
for freedom from foreign yoke. His sword of liberty and justice cut through the slavery and tyranny .

like a thunderbolt across the dark clouds jolting everybody out of their pretensions. No longer .
common people were ready to accept the slavery, no longer were the Indian forces were to face defeat against Turkish-Mongol tyrants. Tide ofhistory had turned, hunters had become hunted! .
Shivaji created an independent Maratha kingdom with Raigad as its capital, and successfully fought .

Painted with acrylic. A polluted river leads to the Earth, the bigger picture, all of our lives. Not just animals or plants that rely of the water's resources, but also us who rely on the resources of nature. If we don't do anything about the pollution in our lives, it will poison everything. People need to work to prevent this, to care for the environment and nature means to care for humanity.
