In a biographical account on the Maratha warrior, Laine writes that "the repressed awareness that Shivaji had an absentee father is also revealed by the fact that Maharashtrians tell jokes naughtily suggesting that his guardian Dadoji Konddev was his biological father...
Apparently, unable to tolerate such a statement, the attackers - owing allegiance to the "Sambhaji Brigade", a splinter group of the Maratha Seva Sangh, an organisation active in "promoting the cause of the Marathas" - targeted the BORI because one of the institute's research scholars, Shreekant Bahulkar, is acknowledged in Laine's book.
IRONICALLY, the Sambhaji Brigade destroyed a huge collection of books on Shivaji and damaged a portrait of him, which the BORI had received from the British Museum.

While the volunteer army formed in the name of the father, the Shiv Sena, has acquired an impeccable pedigree in defending the name and ‘philosophy’ of their eponymous hero, it is now the turn of the son’s acolytes to lift his credit ratings.
His remark, "Sambhaji is hardly hero material", or "some posthumous doubling up in defense of his late father, even if it is a little too late, can only help shore up his reputation" needs to be explained by him pronto, unless of course he wishes to follow in Laine's ignominious footsteps!
Perhaps, Sambhaji is not hero material to those relying upon aliens with an agenda for most of their inspiration and information about India.

 Definition of Shivaji
He was insulted badly by the emperor and was retained in Delhi under house arrest, alongwith his 6 year old son Sambhaji.
His cold-blooded murder (1689) by the Mughals inspired a wave of patriotism in the Maharashtra region, and the Marathas, under the leadership of his brother, Rajaram (1670-1700), waged a War of Independence against the imperial army of Aurangzeb who, until his death (1707), struggled in vain to eradicate Maratha power.
The Indians remember Shivaji with admiration, certainly much more in his homeland of Maharashtra (Both the Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport and in 1996 the Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, each located in Mumbai, are named after him.).
