Hindu revivalism
Hindu revivalism refers to movements asserting Hindu political and cultural identity, particularly in response to Muslim rule in India. Shivaji's coronation in 1674 drew on such ideas, establishing a monarchy rooted in Marathi culture and Hindu tradition. This identity was part of the foundation of the Maratha Empire.
