गिरीश कुबेर RENAISSANCE STATE: THE UNWRITTEN STORY OF THE MAKING OF MAHARASHTRA हे पुस्तक लेखन करुन प्रकाशित केले आहे.
यापुस्तकात संभाजी महाराजाबद्दल काही आक्षेपार्ह लिखाण केले आहे. त्यामुळे समाजध्यमा मध्ये त्यांच्यवर तिव्र टिका होताना दिसत आहे. या पुस्तकावर त्वरित बंदी सरकारने आणावी व लेखक गिरीश कुबेर यांनी माफी मागवी. छत्रपती संभाजीमहाराजांचा अवमान सहन करणार नाही अन्यथा आंदोलन करणार अशीही मागणी जोर धरु लागली आहे.
या लेखात गिरीश कुबेर म्हणतोय की संभाजी ने सोयराबाई सह तिच्या एकनिष्ठ लोकांचा शेवट केला, त्याची भारी किंमत त्याला भविष्यात मोजावी लागली..
पुढे हा म्हणतोय की बर्हाणपूरवर संभाजीने जो हल्ला केला, त्यात त्याने सामान्य नागरिकांवर अत्याचार केले, की जे शिवाजीच्या धोरणाविरोधात होते..पण नंतर मात्र गिरीश कुबेर ला संभाजी महाराजांची तारीफ करावीच लागते..तो म्हणतो की औरंगजेब चा ग्रह होता की शिवाजी नंतर मराठा साम्राज्य संपवणे हा फक्त काही वर्षांचा खेळ आहे,पण मराठ्यांनी त्याला खोटं ठरवलं…मराठ्यांना हरवण्यासाठी त्याने आपले सर्व महत्त्वाचे सरदार, आपले राजपुत्र इथे आणले,पण उपयोग झाला नाही…
पुस्तकातील लिखान :
Finally, Sambhaji put an end to the succession issue by killing Soyarabai along with those loyal to her, some of whom had been prominent members of Shivaji’s Ashta Pradhan Mandal.

वरील पानावरील मजकूर हा जातीयवादी मानसिकतेची मळमळ आहे… चारशे वर्षे झाली तरी अष्टप्रधान मंडळातील कारस्थानी लोकांना दिलेली शिक्षा आजही जातियवादी भटांना खुपते आहे… आणि यानंतर फक्त ८० – १०० वर्षांनी भटांनी सामान्य जनतेवर केलेल्या अन्याय अत्याचारावर यांची तोंडे श्वानविष्ठेचा तोबरा भरल्यासारखी गप्प होतात…
या गिरीश कुबेर च्या पुस्तकावर शशी थरूर चा अभिप्राय आहे…

RENAISSANCE STATE: हे पुस्तक लेखन कोण्त्या विषयावर आहे?
Maharashtra. Among the country’s largest, wealthiest, most significant constituents. A great state in name and in deed that has been the cradle of individuals and events that have shaped India.
Girish Kuber, a seasoned journalist and one of Maharashtra’s foremost opinion makers, tells the region’s story in Renaissance State. Taking in its vast sweep the politics, society and history of the land, from the time of the Satavahanas down to the present day, the book chronicles a number of lesser-known tales: the empire that brought the mighty Mughals to their knees, the woman who took the issue of consent in marital sex right up to Queen Victoria, the social reformers who were far ahead of their time, the men and women who were pioneers in different walks of life, the evolution of movements of the right and left as well as for Dalit identity, the man who mentored Gandhi and also the one who killed him, besides recounting the region’s long tradition of standing up to the power centres of the north.
This is the account of the making of Maharashtra and the Marathi Manoos that its proud people deserved but which had so far remained unwritten.
‘The story of Maharashtra is that of India in the making. The book is my attempt to tell the complete Maharashtra story for the first time – how the state has led the country intellectually and set the India narrative for centuries. Through the book I’ve tried to give a comprehensive historical, political and sociological analysis of one of India’s most important states’.
