The weapon used by Shivaji to kill Afzal Khan is likely to be brought back to India from UK

'Wagh nakh' used by Shivaji to kill Afzal Khan may be brought back from UK

The weapon used by Shivaji to kill Afzal Khan is likely to be brought back to India from UK

The 'wagh nakh', an iron weapon shaped like tiger claws that was used by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to kill Bijapur sultanate's general Afzal Khan in 1659, is likely to be brought to Maharashtra from London in November, state Culture Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar said on Friday.
He said efforts were also on to bring the famed 'Jagdamba' sword of the 17th century Maratha warrior king from a museum in London.
Mungantiwar will travel later this month to the UK to sign an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) to get the wagh nakh back to India.
&ldquo;In the first phase we are bringing the wagh nakh. It should be brought here in November and we are signing an MoU for that. Our effort is to bring it on the day when Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj disembowelled Afzal Khan,&rdquo; Mungantiwar said.
The wagh nakh is likely to be housed in the Chhatrapati Shivaji Sanghralaya (museum) in south Mumbai.
The killing of Afzal Khan marks an important chapter in the annals of Maratha history. Superior in numbers, Khan's powerful army was defeated by the Marathas using guerrilla warfare.
The legendary Maratha king killed Khan using a wagh nakh, a sharp iron made weapon shaped like tiger claws, (when the two met at the foot of Pratapgad fort in present-day Satara district) and since then the episode has become a part of the folklore.
&ldquo;When Afzal Khan stabbed Shivaji Maharaj in the back (during the meeting), Shivaji Maharaj used a 'wagh nakh' to kill the cruel, demonic Afzal Khan," said the minister.
"The wagh nakh is a source of inspiration and energy for us. This year also marks the 350th anniversary of Shivaji Maharaj's coronation,&rdquo; he said.
According to the London's Victoria and Albert Museum, where the 'wagh nakh' is currently housed, the weapon belonged to James Grant Duff (1789-1858), an officer of the East India Company who was appointed Resident (political agent) of the then-Satara state. The relic was given to Duff by the then-Peshwa (Prime Minister) of the Maratha empire.

Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari's remarks on Chhatrapti Shivaji have created a political storm in the state with political parties and various organisations joining in the protests.
On Thursday, Koshiyari was forced to cut short his speech on the first day of the Assembly session as Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress MLAs protested against his remarks.
Koshyari, during a programme in Aurangabad on Sunday, underlined the role of the guru while speaking about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chandragupta Maurya. He claimed that Samartha Ramdas was Shivaji's guru. This has riled up political parties and many organisations in the state where Shivaji is an icon.
The protests against governor took a dramatic on Thursday when NCP MLA Sanjay Daund did a 'sheershasan' in protest.
Amid protests, Koshiyari tried to soothe the nerves by saying that he would verify the facts regarding his remarks. He added that he never tried to belittle Shivaji, but only mentioned the role of a guru.

Prohibitory orders were issued in the city and taluk on Saturday following two untoward incidents of vandalisation of freedom fighter Sangolli Rayanna's statue and hurling stones at government vehicles.
According to the Police Commissioner's office, the prohibitory order is imposed under Section 144 CrPC from 8 am on December 18 to 6 pm on December 19, for Belagavi police commissionerate area, which comprises Belagavi taluk.
The incident occurred when the city is hosting the winter session of state legislature at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha here.
Condemning the incidents as "unruly", Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said he has directed the Home Minister to take strict action against those trying to disturb peace and order following which some arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
Speaking to reporters in Hubballi, the CM said, "Incidents like stone pelting, causing damage to public property and government vehicles is illegal, so police have been directed to take long term measures, so that such incidents don't recur." Noting that the attitude of defacing or desecrating statues of national heroes and patriotic leaders was not right, Bommai said such leaders belong to every community and need to be respected.
Responding to a question, he said, "several other factors including the timing of the incident when the legislature session is on, will all be part of the investigation." President of Sangolli Rayanna Sene Shivaraj Holimath on Saturday complained to the Tilakwadi police that the Sangolli Rayanna statue that was not yet installed, kept in front of his house at Angol in south Belagavi was damaged.
He has alleged that some unknown people caused damage to the statue on Friday night and sped when he raised an alarm.
According to police, the statue has been shifted to Tilakwadi police station and a police force has been deployed in the area.
Earlier in an incident in North Belagavi, a crowd gathered near Sambhaji Circle around midnight and started shouting slogans and began pelting government and police vehicles with stones.
They reportedly resorted to violence after news broke about alleged desecration of Shivaji Maharaj's statue in Bengaluru. Police intervened and brought the situation under control, official sources said.
Home Minister Araga Jnanendra said police have been directed to take merciless action against those involved in such act, and an FIR has been registered in connection with the incidents and some arrests have been made.
"Police have been asked to see to it that such incidents don't repeat. Both Marathi and Kannada speaking people are living peacefully in Belagavi, but some miscreants are trying to disturb and vitiate the atmosphere," he said, while urging that no one should use stalwarts like Sangolli Rayaanna or Shivaji Maharaj for petty politics in the name of any community or language.
Former Chief Ministers B S Yediyurappa, Siddaramaiah, H D Kumaraswamy, also state Congress chief D K Shivakumar among others have condemned the incidents and have asked the government and police to take strict action against the miscreants.
Most of them have appealed to people to maintain peace.

BJP's Maharashtra unit president Chandrakant Patil has claimed that warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and several 'sant-mahants' (saints and seers) developed the "Hindu vote bank", and late prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, senior BJP leader L K Advani, PM Narendra Modi and other leaders of the party took it to the top.
The statement evoked a sharp response from the Shiv Sena with party MP Sanjay Raut saying that it was Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray who first put forth the concept of the Hindu vote bank in the country.
Patil was speaking to reporters here on Tuesday following the BJP's victory in four out of the six seats in the state Legislative Council polls. BJP candidate and former state energy minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule won the Nagpur seat.
Replying to a question whether other BJP leaders, who were denied tickets during the last Assembly elections, would also get justice like Bawankule, Patil said, "It is wrong for someone to say that his or her (poll) ticket has been cut. That ticket belongs to the party, that vote bank also belongs to the party. The ticket is given on the basis of work." "The development of a vote bank dates back to sant-mahants and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. They developed the Hindu vote bank, and in the recent times, the likes of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Lal Krishna Advani, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and others took it to the top," he claimed.
Stating that PM Modi was restoring the glory of ancient temples that were destroyed in the past, Patil said, "The common Hindu voters today feel that Modi is the real heir of their vote bank." The state BJP chief added that the person who gets a ticket in BJP also gets that vote bank.
"It is the candidate's image and works that compliment that vote bank. In a nutshell, the vote bank and the ticket both belong to the party. But it is a human tendency to feel sad. Even Bawankule felt so (when he was denied ticket during the Assembly election), but the family digested that thing and today he got the results," he said.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet, the former Maharashtra minister said, adding, "The same thing has happened in the case with Vinod Tawde, Pankaja Munde, who got the party's responsibilities at the national level." Reacting to Patil's remarks, Raut told a Marathi news channel on Wednesday that although he himself does not have any idea whether the Hindu vote bank was developed by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj or not, it was a fact that he created the first 'Hindavi Swarajya' in the country.
"It was Balasaheb Thackeray, and before him Veer Savarkar, who inculcated the ideology of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and that is why people of the country called Thackeray 'Hindu hriday samrat' (emperor of Hindu hearts)." "Balasaheb once told (late BJP leader) Pramod Mahajan that the way he made Marathi manoos cast their vote as Marathi, he will make Hindus in the country cast their vote as Hindus and he brought his words into reality after 1992. It was the Shiv Sena that first contested the election on Hindu card," Raut said.
It was Thackeray who put forth the concept that there is a Hindu vote bank in the country. When Babri Masjid was being demolished, those who now talk about Hindu vote bank, ran away and it was Shiv Sena that stood strong, the Sena leader claimed.
"Our Hindutva is not escapist. We stand strong, we fight and we win. Our Hindutva is not confined to politics, elections or limited to temples, but it is linked to making basic necessities available to the people," he said.
