Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj story
The Shri Shiva]i Literary Memorial Committee of some
leading members of different Hindu Communities was formed
'
in Bombay, last year, with the object
of placing before the
English reading public an authentic life-story of Shivaji
Maharaja, the Founder of the Maratha Empire, with a view
to remove unfounded prejudices and misunderstandings
unfortunately perpetuated in the Maratha history written
by irresponsible writers who chiefly gathered their informa-
tion from Mahomedan sources. In order to accomplish this
object the Committee resolved to buy and distribute gratis
four thousand copies of the English biography written by
Prof. N. S. Takakhav and Mr. K. A. Keluskar, to English
libraries and other educational institutions of all lands.
