Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, celebrated on the 19th of February every year, commemorates the birth anniversary of one of India's greatest warriors and rulers, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Born in 1630 in the hill fort of Shivneri in Pune, Maharashtra, Shivaji Maharaj was the founder of the Maratha Empire, which played a crucial role in shaping the course of Indian history. This day holds immense significance not only in Maharashtra but across India, as Shivaji Maharaj's legacy continues to inspire generations with his valor, leadership, and commitment to justice. Shivaji Maharaj was born to Shahaji Bhosale, a Maratha general, and Jijabai, a devout Hindu mother who instilled in him the values of courage, righteousness, and love for his motherland from an early age. His upbringing amidst the turbulent political landscape of medieval India, marked by the oppressive rule of the Mughals, greatly influenced his vision for an independent Maratha kingdom. From a young age, Shivaji Maharaj displayed exceptional military prowess and leadership skills. He established an army of skilled soldiers known as the Marathas and employed innovative guerrilla tactics to challenge the dominant powers of the time. His strategic brilliance and ability to unite diverse communities under the banner of Hindavi Swarajya (self-rule for Hindus) enabled him to carve out a formidable empire in the Deccan region.

280-million-year-old fossil, Tridentinosaurus antiquus, which has long been thought to be an important specimen for understanding the evolution of early reptiles. The fossil, found in the Italian Alps in 1931, was believed to belong to the reptile group Protorosauria. However, a recent study published in the journal Palaeontology suggests that this fossil may have been partly forged. The revelation comes after researchers conducted a microscopic analysis of the fossil, revealing that the texture and composition of the material did not match genuine fossilized soft tissues. They also used ultraviolet (UV) photography to determine that the entire specimen had been treated with some form of coating material. The study's findings indicate that the body outline of the fossil was artificially created to enhance its appearance, misleading previous researchers.
