1/n Never seen such a foolish take on #ChatrapathiShivaji’s diplomacy.

By his logic then Gandhi Ji should be a great friend to Hitler based on letter written to him.

He had clear vision & he was opposed to the rule of Musalmans which becomes evident from his own writings.
2/n Here are snippets from letter of Shivaji to Jai Singh where he mentions that he is disheartened that swords of Hindus would be against at each other just because one has chosen to side with Muslims.

He talks of how his sword thirsts for blood of Musalmaans.

He also says that there Turks are like Rakshasas in the guise of being Adharmik men.
