Sure Shivaji was secular politician and then PM of secular Maratha empire .The bravery of Baji Prabhu is well documented and should be celebrated, however I take offense to the fact that this had anything to do with “Hindu” nationalism. It was Maratha Nationalism, which might be the precursor to Indian nationalism. It had nothing to do with protecting “Hindu culture or civilization”, but more to do with Swarajya.
Marathas were a secular force as was their leader Shivaji.
So this seems nothing more than a Shiv Sena type propaganda to use the good works of Shivaji and his leadership to portray “Hindu nationalism” as a concept when it did not exist.

And @Peshwa I wouldn't call that secular either. Hindus never considered themselves under a name tag of Hindu. Shivaji never discriminated against Muslims nor advocated the killing of Muslim. Nor he took women as war bounty, a practice that was rampant among the Muslim conquerors at the time.

I like the deeds of Bahir ji Naik more then anyone in Maratha empire .... due to his intelligence Shivaji was able pull the surprises like in battle of Umberkhind...... @Peshwa what you say about his capabilities

While I do not question Shivaji's secular credentials - he didn't used the term "Hindutva" which was coined by Savarkar.The bravery of Baji Prabhu is well documented and should be celebrated, however I take offense to the fact that this had anything to do with “Hindu” nationalism.
