Determined to launch a statewide movement for renaming ‘Shivaji University’ to ‘Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj University’!”
Kolhapur: In the sacred land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a book titled “Who Was Shivaji?” is being openly sold, raising questions about his legacy. Additionally, Kolhapur University continues to bear the incomplete name ‘Shivaji University’ instead of the more respectful ‘Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj University.’ At the Provincial Hindu Rashtra Convention, organized by Hindu Rashtra Samanvaya Samiti, a strong resolution was passed stating that any insult to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj will not be tolerated. The convention declared a statewide movement demanding the immediate renaming of Shivaji University. The event was graced by Pujya Sambhaji Bhide Guruji, founder of Shri Shivpratishthan Hindustan.

“Expose and counter the Leftist ‘Ecosystem’ that targets Hindutva!” – Shri. Sunil Ghanwat
In his address, Shri. Sunil Ghanwat warned about the growing influence of Urban Naxalism in India. He highlighted how entrepreneurs, journalists, and social workers are covertly influencing society, working in alignment with global deep-state agendas to destabilize governments and create chaos. He also criticized Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for his misrepresentation of India as a mere collection of states and for mistaking Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s Jayanti for his death anniversary. Shri. Ghanwat urged Hindutva supporters to actively counter the false narratives of the Leftist ‘ecosystem’ and protect India’s cultural heritage.
