Is Shivaji not a national hero?? 
काय शिवाजी राष्ट्रीय वीरपुरुष नाहीत??

Hero worship is a feeling deeply implanted in human nature ; and our political aspirations need all the strength which the worship of swadeshi hero is likely to inspire our minds. 
मानवी स्वभावात वीरपुरुषांची पूजा ही खोलवर रुजली आहे;व  आपल्या राजकिय आकांक्षेस पूर्ण ताकद हवी ,ज्याने स्वदेशी वीरपुरुषाची पूजा आपल्या मनास प्रेरणा देउ शकते.

We are not against a festival being started in honor of Akbar or any other hero from old Indian History . Such festivals will have their own worth ; but that of Shivaji has a peculiar value of its own country , and it is the duty of every one to see that this characteristics of the festival is not ignored or misrepresented .

 आम्ही अकबरासाठी किंवा जून्या भारतीय इतिहासातील एखाद्या वीरपुरुषासाठी  एखादा महोत्सव सुरु करण्याच्या विरुद्ध नाही .अश्या महोत्सवांना त्यांचे स्वतःचे वेगळे मुल्य असेल; परंतु,शिवाजीस त्याचे स्वतःचे देशात वैशिष्ट्यपूर्ण मुल्य आहे, व प्रत्येकाचे हे कर्तव्य आहे कि या महोत्सवाची लक्षणे ही दुर्लक्षिल्या किंवा गैर-प्रकारे प्रदर्शित केल्या जाणार नाहीत.

Every hero be he Indian or European , acts according to the spirit of his times ; and we must therefore judge of his individual acts by the prevalent in his time. If this principle be accepted we can find nothing in Shivaji’s life to which one can take exception. ⏎
कोणताही महानायक,तो भारतीय असो कि युरोपियन,त्याचे कालानुसार कार्य करतो;व म्हणून आम्ही त्याच्या वैयक्तिक कृत्या ह्या त्या काळाच्या मागणीनुसार पारखावयास हव्यात.जर हे तत्व मान्य केले तर,शिवाजीच्या जीवनात आम्हाला असे काहीही सापडणार नाही ज्यावर कोणीही आक्षेप घेऊ शकेल.

But as stated above we need not go so far. What makes Shivaji a national hero for the present is the spirit which actuated him throughout and not his deeds as such. His life clearly shows that Indian races do not so soon lose the vitality which gives them able leaders at critical times. ⏎
वर उल्लेखिल्याप्रमाणे, आम्हास इतक्या दूर जायचे नाही.सध्या शिवाजीस राष्ट्रीय वीरपुरुष ठरविण्याचे कारण हे आहे कि ती भावना ज्याने त्यास संपूर्णतः प्रेरित ठेवले न कि त्याचे कार्य.त्याचे जीवन स्पष्टपणे दाखविते कि भारतीय कुळे ही आपली वीरता सहजासहजी सोडत नाहीत, जे त्यांना कठीण प्रसंगी सक्षम नायक देतात.

That is the lesson which the Mohamedans and the Hindus have to learn from the history of the great Maratha Chief ; and the Shivaji festival is intended to emphasise the same lesson. 

It is the sheer misrepresentation to suppose that the worship of Shivaji includes invocation to fight either with the Mohamedans or with the Government. It was only in conformity worth the political circumstances of the country at the time Shivaji was born in Maharashtra. 

But a future leader may born anywhere in India who knows. That is the right view of the question and we do not think that the Anglo Indian writers can succeed in diverting our attention from it.
