8. Conclusion:-
The special feature of this presentation is that it focuses
on Maharashtra. Even though our State is part of the Republic of India, if we
study history from the perspective of Maharashtra, we will understand the
position, role and contribution of Maharashtra in the History of India, and the
students will develop a more mature national feeling. They will understand what
our ancestors have done for the nation and it will enhance their awareness of
their own responsibilities and duties towards the nation. In this respect, the
foundation of Swaraj by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the seventeenth century is
very important.
To understand the foundation of Swaraj,
the situation in India and Maharashtra before the rise of Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj should be understood first, so that one gets a perspective on the history
of India. That has been our policy while designing this book. We have discussed
how, after the demise of Shivaji Maharaj, Maharashtra faced the attacks on his
Swaraj and protected it. After they had repulsed the attacks, the Marathas
expanded the boundaries of Maharashtra and occupied most of India.
The next part covers the expansion
of Swaraj into an empire. We all know that the British conquered India and ruled
here but it is important to understand how Maharashtra was in the forefront in
stopping the British. The British had to compete with the Marathas and they had
to conquer India by battling with the Marathas. This evokes a sense of our
strength and duty. It is expected that teaching-learning should awaken this
feeling in the students’ minds. This view-point is expressed pictorially on the
cover showing the expansion of the Maratha power with the help of a broad
outline map of India.
