Forts of Maharashtra were backbone
 of
his victorious campaign. Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was
excellent general co-coordinator, administrator, leader but one
more most important thing he had that he was master in choosing
and using places for battlefield. Forts build by him like
Pratapgad, Sindhudurg are victims of his architectural skills.
Every fort of Maharashtra has too many memories of his
successful and famous battles. Age of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
was golden age of history of forts in Maharashtra.

He founded the
Hindu kingdom in the Deccan against all odds, fighting against
the mighty Mughals. He inspired and united the common man to
fight against the tyranny of Mughal ruler Aurangzeb, by
inculcating a sense of pride and nationality in them. At the age
of 16, he took a pledge to establish a sovereign Hindu state.
His life appears like a fairy tale to children. He clearly
outstands all the rulers and generals of India by the exemplary
life he lived and is thus respected by the entire cross section
of Indians. Shivaji is to India what Napolean was to Europe.
