Oath of Hindavi Swarajya 👑
Original FULL Speech by Shivaji the Great:
"Why remain content with the Ināms conferred by Mlecchas or with Our paternal acquisitions only?!
We are Hindus!
This whole country is ours, and yet it is garrisoned and held by the Musallmāns...
...
Desecration of Our temples, breaking of Our idols, plundering of Our wealth, conversion of Our countrymen, butchery of Our holy cows...
We will suffer this treatment no more!
We possess strength in Our arms!
...
...
Let Us draw out Our sword in defence of Our sacred Dharma, liberate Our native country and acquire new lands and wealth by Our own effort.
We are as brave and capable as Our Ancestors of yore.
If We undertake this sacred task, God will certainly help Us...
...
All human efforts are so helped by God. There is no such thing as good-luck or ill-luck.
We are the Lords of this Earth and the carvers of Our sovereignty!"
— Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja 📜
