On Shivaji Jayanti, let's recall the lessons this great hero set by example:
1. Objective Clarity. Freedom from an oppressive rule was his singular objective and everything else was judged by its delivery to this.
2. Mother is supreme. Ma. Motherland. Mother Nature. Shivaji built his life's mission around his mother's clarion call, "Freedom". He immediately understood the scale and vision of her command. No man can err if he follows his creator's call.
3. Meritocracy. He selected his generals based on their ability not on caste or religion.
4. Believe in the team. Shivaji developed a second level team which went on to create their own kingdoms.
5. Righteousness even with the enemy. Shivaji limited his war to an ideology. He treated the family of his enemies and prisoners with respect and great humanity.
6. Strategy. He introduced guerilla warfare for the first time as the principal strategy because it suited the terrain he inhabited and the fact that his army was tiny.
7. Self-belief. Despite the fact that he was starting from scratch and was up against the world's largest army, he was confident of the outcome. He never let doubt creep in even during times of failure and achieved the impossible against all odds.
Shivaji is every Indian's hero. He fought oppression, built a nation, valued and cared for people, believed in merit not background. And never ever gave up.
Remember him. Be inspired by him.
