छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराजांची राजनीती

Governance & Leadership of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराजांच्या राजकीय कल्पना इतक्या व्यापक आणि दूरगामी होत्या की त्यामध्ये कोणताही फेरफार न करता आपण आजच्या परिस्थितीतही त्यांचे अनुकरण करू शकतो.

प्रजेला शांतता, सहिष्णुता, सर्वांना समान संधी, कार्यक्षम आणि शुद्ध राज्यकारभार पद्धती, व्यापार वृद्धीसाठी आरमार, तसेच मायदेशाच्या रक्षणासाठी लढाऊ लष्कर — ही महाराजांच्या राजकारणातील मूलभूत ध्येये होती.

महाराष्ट्रातीलच नव्हे तर महाराष्ट्राबाहेरच्या प्रतिभावंतांनाही, गुणवत्ता असेल तर, शिवाजी महाराजांकडे काम करण्याची संधी प्राप्त होई. त्यांच्या कार्यपद्धतीने राज्यकारभार सर्व क्षेत्रांना स्पर्श करून प्रजेची सर्वांगीण उन्नती साधली. आधुनिक राज्याने अनुसरण्यास योग्य अशी शासन-व्यवस्था महाराजांनी प्रत्यक्ष अंमलात आणली.

या व्याख्यानमालेमध्ये शिवाजी महाराजांच्या राज्यकारभाराचा, निर्णय-प्रक्रियेचा, नेतृत्वशैलीचा, आणि आधुनिक प्रशासनाशी त्यांचा संबंध यांचा सखोल ऊहापोह केलेला आहे.

Course Overview

Governance & Leadership of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

A Study in Statecraft, Administration & Visionary Rule

This course presents a detailed study of the governance model, administrative vision, and leadership philosophy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Each module examines a major civilizational pillar of the Maratha state—from administration, revenue, and justice systems to military organisation, infrastructure, maritime trade, and social inclusion.

Through a modern lens, the course demonstrates how Shivaji Maharaj created a stable, ethical, inclusive, and resilient model of statecraft that remains relevant for contemporary governance and public leadership.

Drawing from archival references, historical evidence, and documented practice, this lecture series analyses why Shivaji Maharaj's systems were not merely tactical, but deeply institutional and future-ready—designed to protect the homeland, empower citizens, and stimulate commerce while maintaining justice and civil harmony.
