Yes Ketaki, there was hardly anything between Shivaji and Britishers.

Shivaji started everything from scratch. He got great support of his childhood friends (Malves), his mother Jija mata, Dadoji and all great saints of those times. He became king at the age of 16. Before his time, the condition of Maharashtra and south India to some extent was worst. He established 'Swarajya', and saved India from going in wrong hands. He established good administration, intelligent system, build forts and spread the kingdom. He was one of the intelligent and brave warriers. U know if we see the results, jate waqt weh kuch accha de gaye. Yes there was some family politics. But creating our own kingdom right from beginning, setting good administration where people lived happily, fighting with enemy bravely, developing a strong group of loyal people around, avoiding internal conflicts intelligently, playing right politics, all these are the qualities which a great King should posses and Shivaji maharaj had all these. Yup but this rule was limited upto maharashtra and some part of south India.

Prithviraj, I think rather then great King, he was great warrier - brave, bold and off course romantic😳. And best thing of him was his gold heart and his shabd bedi baan vidya👏. But again he was highly ambitious (which is not wrong though)and agressive. But this created internal enimity which is the first thing a king should avoid. So I could not call him greatest.

After him Akbar could be called great king. He established good art in India. His era was perfect. Also Gupta kingdom. 👏

Then if we go more back in History, I think Yudhistir (from Mahabharat) was great. That time when Indraprastha was established was the great time of their era. Also after winning the war against Kauravas, he ruled as an ideal king and after him son of Abhimanyu - Parikshit.

Then more back, Bhishma's father era (I think his name is Bharat) was great (till he fell in love and married that Fisherman's daughter) and before him Ram's father's era (Dashrath raja).

Its difficult to choose one. Har koi apne jagah sahi tha. Cannot compare them. But if we ve to point out one, I would say Shivaji was the greatest (AFAIK)

Note: My History knowledge is very poor. If i m going wrong anywhere, plz correct me.

well said👏.............. but i suck😆 at History.....................No idea.......

how can thr ever be relation between Physics and PRC..
i think the only thing in common is dat they both strt with P 😆

frankly , i dont kno much abt prc as king, all i came to kno abt him after this show.... also at my time i didnt learnt abt all gr8 kings of india. i think prc was king of delhi but otherwise he was just one regional king at his time.......
ne king done much development for his ppl considered good king but v dont kno much abt his development, even fort of his time also not in good shape now.
i think acco to history he wasnt the greatest king. also if v consider he was killed when just 25-26 and also tht he almost fighting thru out his life, how much he cud hv done for his ppl??!! 😕

according to me the greatest emperors are the ones who build their kingdom.. so prc will never be in the list because during his rule the kingdom was defeated and it disintegrated.
don't know much abt shivaji.. but i feel he also finally lost it to aurangazeb.. if that is the case.. then even shivaji maharaj is removed from my list...

One of my favorite is Chandragupta Maurya. he was not a prince.. didn't have any army to start with .. but still laid the foundation of the greatest dynastry.. which ruled almost whole of india.(chanakya also had a great role to play in this). bimbisar was also good.. atleast he did not loose any teritories of his kingdom. Ashoka was good in the begining.. expanded his kingdom... but i really hate him for sending his kids for theerth yatra to sri-lanka n all.. thus left his kingdom with no heir.. n the great dynasty that his father n grandfather created was destroyed by him.

Then comes the gupta kings.. starting with chandragupta who started this dynasty.. followed by samudragupta who expanded the empire and then by chandragupta-2 who furter made it strong... but thats it.. his successors destroyed everything..

But the person i really love(though he was not a king or emperor)is sardar patel.. he united the whole of india..even the kashmir problem wld not have occured if nehru had not come in between.. he cannot be called a emperor because india had become a democratic country by then.. but still he is a nation builder.. laid the foundation for us

Shivaji maharaj did not loose to Aurangjeb. he actually reduced the moghal power so much that in peshawa time - moghal kingdom was indirectly ruled by peshwa ppl(which btw, was founded by shivaji)... So i dont think he didnt suceed like prc.. hmmm... prc.. lets face it he didnt. If shivaji wouldnt hv been there, Indian culture (specially middle part of india) would have looked very different. ..

but yes.. I m all 😍 for Chandragupta Maurya.
