From remark to retreat: Why Shivaji Maharaj–Tipu Sultan comparison sparked row - explained In Maharashtra, Shivaji Maharaj occupies an almost sacred position across ideological lines, but particularly within the political vocabulary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena. The Maratha ruler is frequently invoked as a symbol of indigenous sovereignty, martial pride and cultural assertion. References to Hindavi Swarajya resonate strongly with narratives centred on civilisational identity and self-determination. #Shiv_Sena #Bharatiya_Janata #Janata_Party #Shivaji_Maharaj #Tipu_Sultan #Sultan_comparison #Maharaj_occupies #sparked_row #ideological_lines #comparison_sparked
