Tales of Shivaji

There are a number of tales about Shivaji and his contemporaries. Some of them like 'Rani Mallamma of Belavadi' are historical stories while others like the story of 'Hira the Milkmaid' are legends. The Shivaji of all these stories is a man who is held in high esteem; a man who recognises nobility even in his adversaries; a man of virtue who treats even his prisoners-of-war with respect. Three such stories are given in this Amar Chitra Katha.
