TRAITS OF HIS GREAT LEADERSHIP-
DEMOCRATIC-HIS POLICIES were clearly defined
for only and only welfare of society
Inspired his own people
Paternalistic-
Fair administration- taxation
Thinking out of the box
Sharp brain good presence of mind great vision
Superb spy network
An innovator and able commander
Broad Principles of Shivaji’s Administration The defence of the country (Swarajya) should be given highest priority
through a network of well garrisoned land and marine forts, a strong army and a navy. In view of peculiar geographical features of Maharashtra specially kokan region this was the best means of protecting the land from hostile powers.
All posts were to be filled on the basis of merit and not heredity, caste or religion.
Revenue collection was to be direct, i.e. by the state, through its own agencies and departments and through middleman of any type.
During war and in course of raids in the enemy territory the women, children and religion places were not to suffer any harm or damage.
Conclusion
He was the type of the real son of India representing the true consciousness of the nation.
Shivaji embodied all the qualities that politicians should possess in 21st century India.
He was just, firm and stood for the weak; he was an honest and able administration.
Even today he rules the heart of Indian people.
