But in Shivbharat ---
2. Orissa has nothing to gain from Maratha rule.

The HMS Trincomalee

Built in 1817 at the Bombay Docks by the Wadias it is the oldest British Navy warship that can still float.
The reason being that Indian Teakwood has far better properties than English Oakwood when immersed in saltwater.

That combined with ship building skills of the Parsis.

Hence, India built ships were invariably superior.

Pic ref : BBC
The HMS Minden, also made at Bombay Docks by the Wadias, sailed to Baltimore.

The American anthem was composed on it.

Flag of the Scindia Steam Navigation Company.

Established in 1919 by Walchand Hirachand Doshi.

#Swastika Image
Walchand Hirachand started from the small town of Solapur (in 1920 it was definitely a small town) and became one of India's foremost industrialists.

Unfortunately our intellectual class looks down upon Industrialists and Wealth makers.
If not for people like Walchand , Birlas and Tatas - India would have no Industrial base once the British left.

Why recapturing Sinhagad in Feb 1670 was important in the grander scale of things.

A flutter of a butterfly creates a storm halfway around the globe.
After losing 23 forts to Aurangzeb , Shivaji laid low. Spent his time rebuilding. Also spent a year escaping from Agra and reaching Rajgad.

Sinhagad was one of the most important forts lost. In fact it retained its importance as Pune's guard fort right up to 1818.
Sinhagad was a very important and strategic fort. Stone's throw from the capital Rajgad , guarding the important route from Kalyan to Pune as well as Pune itself.

It gave Aurangzeb the base needed to launch any future attacks and kept Chhatrapati Shivaji hemmed in.

Not only is Abide with me a Christian Hymn, it is a Christian Funeral Hymn.

Yup, we were humming a funeral tune for approx 70 years during " Beating the Retreat "

And yeah, it's called " Sacred Song"
This is the American Navy. Note the occasion.
Yep, very Universal lyrics.

The Indian Army has something known as Repugnant Battle Honours.

Honours won by various Regiments fighting for the British Empire against Indian powers.

Example Assaye (1803)
Many of our Regiments trace themselves back two hundred years or more. The battles at Assaye, Laswari, killing of Tipu etc were done by Regiments full of Indians.

But it is important to note that the Regiments do not mark these battles.
Their medals are not worn nor are the days celebrated any more.

The Indian Army recognises that these were battles fought for a foreign power against native ones.

Good example of having a heritage but staying in the present.
