Shivaji was extremely humane to all his subjects, whichever religion they practised.
Shivaji applied a humane and liberal policy on the Muslim women of his state.
One instance, which shows Shivaji's respect for women, irrespective of their religion, nationality, or creed is well-documented.
Shivaji's army had defeated the Subhedar of Kalyan and had brought in the daughter in law of the Subhedar.
When she was brought to Shivaji's palace, Shivaji respectfully apologized to her,
and appreciated her beauty by saying, "If my mother had been so beautiful, I would have inherited such beauty..."
and returned her to her family.

The secularism practised by Shivaji can be observed in an admonishing letter he wrote to Aurangzeb, in which he wrote:

"Verily, Islam and Hinduism are terms of contrast. They are used by the true Divine Painter for blending the colours and filling in the outlines. If it is a mosque, the call to prayer is chanted in remembrance of him. If it is a temple, the bells are rung in yearning for him alone."
