Adopted Brahmanical Sanskrit language and threw out Persian. Commissioned Rajvyawhar kosh.

And since Aurangzeb only imprisoned him it doesnt count.

Also getting besieged by Siddi Johar or having to cede 23 forts to Diler Khan.

Between Panhala Purandar and Sinhagad - Chhatrapati Shivaji LOST LIVES of three of his best.

Against Mughals and Adil Shah.

Chhatrapati Shivaji's envoy when he met Afzal Khan - गोपीनाथपंत बोकील ( Brahmin)

When he met Maharaja Chhatrasal Bundela

So anti Brahmin he was not.

If you mean anti Hindu rituals..well then here goes

Hindu (Brahmanical) rituals

A Marathi Brahmin, originally of Paithan - presided over the coronation ceremony.

No Qazi was present.

Turki Fauzet thevliyas, Jai milto kaisa ?

(How do you expect to win when you have so many Turks in your army)

Chhatrapati Shivaji to his brother Vyankoji during Dakshin Digvijay.

Since Bhakti movement has been mentioned...

It was a bulwark against Islamism

Here is Namdev praying for Kalki avtaar to get rid of Mlecchas (Sultanates in this case)

Same Namdev of Guru Granth Sahib. Also a Bhakti saint held in as much regard as Sant Tukaram.

"Dharmachi ubharil gudi" means what ?

Care to comment ?
