INTRODUCTION
 
The political and governance methods of Shivaji were found on Hindu ethos of “Sarva Dharm Sadbhav” and vedic concept of ‘Raj Dharma’ where the King cares for his kingdom as a father figure. These very methods of political and governance are twisted to present him as a secular king.
 
To portray him as secular, his campaigns against Islamic powers of the time like Mughals, Adil shahi, Qutub shahi, Golconda etc are appropriated. He is depicted as some power hungry, greedy and ambitious rebel king who waged war to gain power and enlarge his own kingdom.
 
Shivaji’s reign was marked by a commitment to these principles, which guided his administrative and military policies. However, these methods have often been twisted or reframed in later historical narratives, especially by colonial historians, to present him as a secular ruler rather than a devout Hindu leader. This framing served to downplay the religious and cultural motivations behind Shivaji’s actions and instead cast him as a ruthless, power-hungry king with a singular focus on enlarging his kingdom.
