Ajit Pawar Pays Homage to Maratha Hero Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj

Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar visited the memorial of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj to pay respects. The Maratha ruler, succeeding Shivaji, was known for his resistance against the Mughal Empire. His legacy is honored in the film 'Chhaava,' praised by CM Devendra Fadnavis for capturing his valor and intellect.

On Saturday, Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar paid tribute at the memorial of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in Pune, marking the death anniversary of the Maratha Empire's distinguished second ruler. Surrounded by an air of reverence, Pawar expressed his deep admiration and gratitude for Sambhaji's enduring legacy.

Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, eldest son of Maratha founding father Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, ascended to power in 1681. Known for his intellectual prowess, Sambhaji fiercely resisted Mughal conquests, ruling until 1689. His story, immortalized in the Hindi film 'Chhaava,' continues to inspire and elevate his contributions to Indian history.

The film 'Chhaava,' recently praised by Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, casts Vicky Kaushal as Sambhaji and Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb. The period drama sheds light on Sambhaji's unmatched valor and intelligence, striving to correct historical injustices and spread awareness of his legacy.
