How Politicians use history to gain benefits in elections.

When we study the history, we see that many raja And maharaja fought to increase their empire boundries. Beacuse of one thought that my system of rule is better than other.Second thought or desire that my empire will be cover whole the world. Third thought of envy and jealousy of success between the empire kings.This two egofull thoughts are the main reason of battles. Third reason is human nature which is also responsible and this reasons make to incite the battles. So we can say that this battles fought between kings due to their desire, Grudge, envy and jealousy. 

But politicians will not explain this. They study history only on the view of islam vs hindu. They interpreted the history only on islam vs hindu. Example The Shivaji Maharaj - " They say Shivaji Maharaj killed Afzal khan ". Yes this write thing. But question arises how and what was the incident took place.

"Sultan Adil Shah sent his general Afzal Khan in 1656 AD to capture Shivaji dead or alive. Afzal Khan wanted to kill Shivaji by deceit, so he sent a message to meet Shivaji Maharaj near Pratapgarh. Accepting the message, Shivaji agreed to meet Afzal Khan and a meeting was fixed between the two around 10 November 1959. Afzal Khan reached there at the appointed time and was accompanied by his bodyguard Syed Banda as well as the mediator Krishnaji Bhaskar. Shivaji reached here with full preparation. He wore an iron net on the body and wore loose clothes over it. He wore an iron cap on his head, as well as holding Baghankha in his left hand and nettle in his right hand. During the meeting, Shivaji went ahead to hug Maharaj, when Afzal Khan fraudulently tried to stab Shivaji's back with a dagger tied in his hand. Shivaji was also clever and was aware of Afzal's trickery, so he went with preparation. As Afzal Khan attacked, Shivaji also tore Afzal Khan's stomach with the Baghankha, a weapon made of tiger's claws in his hand. Wounded Afzal Khan fled but was killed by Shivaji Maharaj in the battle field."

After reading this we cunclude and set mind that batlle was islamic vs hindu.

But lalle ki jaan real history or fact is that -

1. " Afzal Khan sent his messenger Krishna Bhaskar Kulkarni to Shivaji to convey the message of meeting."

2. "When Shivaji was preparing to meet Afzal Khan. So Rustum-e-Jamal one of his Muslim lieutenants advised him that it was not right to trust Afzal Khan. Paying heed to the lieutenant's Rustum-e-Jamal advice, Shivaji went to meet Afzal Khan wearing armor inside his clothes and tiger nails on his nails."

This two real fact conclusion is that the battles was not between islamic vs hindu.

Battles was for to control the power, political, to expand the Empire.

But our politicians give/set the narrative hindu vs muslim. So he divide first in form of Hindu vs muslim.They are fulfilling their political ambition by wearing the cloak of religion and making the public fight in the name of Hindu-Muslim. So that the public remains engrossed in Hindu-Muslim and the public does not have enough time to question the government on public issues like unemployment, inflation, development, constitutional rights, education, health, equality and many more issues.

Shivaji 

We know that Shivaji's army had innumerable Muslim soldiers as generals and soldiers. Which clearly means that they never discriminated between Hindus and Muslims. Means the leader who is painting Shiva ji Maharaj only in Hindu colour, maybe he is illiterate or he has not known Shiva ji properly. So don't get carried away by such illiterate and bigoted leaders because they will take your votes with fake information and fulfill their political ambitions.
