Muslims oppose poster of temple destroyer Afzal Khan's slaying!
June 10, 2006
Aurangabad: Fanatic Muslims have opposed one of the inspiring and important incidents of Afzal Khan's slaying by Shivaji Maharaj from the biography of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Muslims are hit with sudden surge of love for Afzal Khan and have demanded to withdraw the circular depicting historical incidents in the life of Shivaji Maharaj wherein a picture of Shivaji Maharaj gutting Afzal Khan has been published.
Who was Afzal Khan? Afzal Khan was the Mughal Sardar in the Court of Aurangzeb and notorious for severing the Tulja Bhavani idol at Tuljapur near Kolhapur. After he Severed Tulja Bhavani idol Shivaji took an oath of exterminating Afzal Khan. He was a typical Hindu Hater and gave a free hand to his troops to attack and plunder Hindu Homes in Maharashtra. His troops massacred Hindus and committed undescribable atrocities on Hindu women and Children. His Aim was to somehow bring Shivaji down from the fort and kill him and present his head as a gift in the name of Allah to Aurangzeb! However, Shivaji tore open the guts of Aurangzeb and a handful of Maratha Army routed the huge Mughal Army by the Grace of Goddess Bhavani
On the occasion of first anniversary of the branch of Shiv Sena opened in Aurangabad, the party is celebrating anti-terrorism week. In this context, copies of the said circular with a heading that 'This is how we will have to end terrorism' have been published by Shiv Sena and the same are displayed at various important places in the city of Aurangabad. But the Afzal Khan fans have taken objection to the circular and threatened to go on hunger strike if the circulars are not removed.

Dear Sir,
First of all I would like to bring to your kind notice that Afjal Khan was not a noble of Aurangzeb. In fact he was a sardar of Bijapur,s Adilshah. Secondly, he was a perrinial enemy of Shivaji Maharaj. He trechourously arrested Shahaji Raje and also humiliated him by pareding on the roads of Bijapur. Afjal was even instrumental in killing Sambhaji, Maharaj,s elder brother. In my opinion these activities-sins of Afjal are sufficient to send him to Jahannum.

It is a matter of shame that one of the greatest king of all times & a protector of Hindu religion is slowly fading away from our memories. 1 has to agree that in todays world the best way of educating ppl is via films, documentaries adverts etc. when our own ppl direct a movie on muslim kings "Jodha-Akbar" as if he was of any match to Shivaji.
These big names in film industry should put their hands up n direct a detailed movie on shivaji in hindi.. this would spread the awareness amongst all indians...

Sharad, I think you are right. But no one in Bollywood would make a move on Cht. Shivaji Maharaj as they are all full of Khans.
Wikipedia gives information about all contemporary kings of the generation of Shivaji . I donot think any other proof is required to prove that Shivaji was the noblest and the greatest King of his generation . Lets not forget that he was not just Hindu King but he took care of all his subjects irrespective of their religions . He created and inspired people like Bajiprabhu , Netaji , Tanaji ,Murarbaji , Prataprao Gujar , Jiva mahala , Siva Barber who gave their lives for him . None of them were forced todosoby Shivaji . And Afjal khan was against Humanity . Killing such naradhams was a great service to Humanity . Shivaji Maharaj Ki jay

There has never been an instance in history or ever that any Hindu has commited atrocities against any women or children or destroyed churches or mosques in the name of religion. Muslims in India are treated fairly, they even have there own law to sort things out with in their religious.
Anyway Afzal Khan was a ruler and not a good one at that. Maharaj killed him was the best thing that happened to Hindustan.
We need Film makers to make a film on Maharaj.
I have Maharaj picture on my mobile phone and laptop as background image.
Common Indians let long live the legacy of Maharaj.

shivaji was not against ISLAM. He had NOOR KHAN BEG as chief general and 700 pathan soldiers. He was a JUST KING.
It really is been a bad that people still have affinity for afjal khan & not towards the great Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
afjal khan was giant monster, & our kids should see how Shivaji Maharaj Killed that monster.

Afzal Khan was a monster,He was 7 feet tall & use to eat 7 Kgs of rice & meat every time. He had 64 wifes where he killed all of them one by one by drowning them in mallaprabha river before going with war on shivaji as he felt that his wifes may marry somebody else if he gets killed in the battle as the Sultan of Bijapur has ordered that he cannot return to Bijapur without bringing the head of Shivaji.He had a curse of his murdered 64 wifes while shivaji had the blessings of the God Kali.Even though those protesting muslims know his character, they still want to support Afzal Khan just bcoz he was born a muslim.I think those protester had to be deported to Pakistan, their home country....

Dear readers,
Afzal Khan was the notorious General of Bajapur Sultan and a fundamentalist to the core. He was sent to capture or kill Shaivaji by all means by the Sultan. He left Bijapur with 10000 troops and on the way he played havov with hindu population and destroted Tulja Bhavani idol and destroyed temples at Pandharpur. he wanted to draw out Shivaji from his forts. But shivaji could findout that the aim of Khan was to kill him although he made parleys for a meeting. At the meeting Khan stabbed him after embracing him and armor hidden saved Shivaji. He tore open the belly of Khan with hidden iron claws and with his xxxxwa stabbed him. Killing him was divine wish.

Dear readers,
Afzal Khan was the nororious wretched general of Bijapur Sultan. He was also responsible for killing the first son Shambhiji of Shahji Bhonsle earlier. He had earlier some type of apprehension that he could loose life at the hands of shivaji. Before he left Bijapur with his 10K army, he killed his 22 wives/ concubines with his own hand. Their graves are still existing at a village near Bijapur. How he could be cruel? He was a beast and devil incarnate. Shivaji killed him in self defence and it was ordained by the God. It is also learnt that his head was cut off and presented to Jijabai as a revenge for slaying of her first son. Good he was killed

It is most essential to take out a movie on killing of Afzal Khan and Shivajis exploits.It is very sad that Producers are after making money. Yerasago films like Jhansi ki Rani was produced. That was far greater tha the mOghal e azam where Akbar was much glorified and to appease Mulsims India hailed it as the gretaest movie. Akbar was very cruel. Similar is the case with Anarkali.There are many great episodes such as Sacrifice of Baji Prabhu, Tanaji Malsure capturing Sinhgarh fort, Attack on Shaista Khan, Raid on Surat, Escape from Agra.There is no end.Shivaji must be glorified at all costs. His life history must be made compulsory subject in schools.
