Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday lauded great warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on his 368th birth anniversary.

"I wish everyone on the anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. India is proud that a braveman and great personality like him was born on this land," the Prime Minister tweeted.
