New Delhi [India], Sept 23 (ANI-NewsVoir): Sanjay Dalmia, industrialist and philanthropist, through his NGO, Bharat Maa Shaheed Samman Trust, felicitated an evening to honour Marathas and accomplished Maharashtrians at The Rooftop, Trident in Mumbai recently.

"We all know Marathas were great warriors and rulers, Chattrapati Shivaji being the greatest of all. There is much more to Marathas and Maharashtrian achievements which not everyone knows. They are geniuses who have created milestones in various subjects including art, culture, politics, science," said Dalmia.

He also highlighted that the first plane was created and flown by an Indian pioneer Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, a Maharashtrian, at Chowpatty several years before Wright Brothers.

"While people from Maharashtra have been making the nation proud by creating excellence in various walks of life, we must also acknowledge that some of the best politicians of India have been from Maharashtra," added Shaina NC, the Chief Guest.
