Chhatrapati sambhaji maharaj

Sambhaji Maharaj has a nickname, “Chhava,” which translates to “Lion Cub.” He knew Sanskrit as well as seven to nine other languages. Many Western and Indian historians have endeavored to tarnish the reputation of Chhattrapati Sambhu Raje by making unfounded accusations against his character, or they have tried to secularise him (in the same way as Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje), or they have ignored him altogether, as has been the case with many Hindu kings. Although he ruled for only nine years, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj preserved and continued the legacy of the Hindavi Swarajya Empire of Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje and expanded it and left a mark in history that has not yet been accepted by biased historians. When he was only eight years old, he showed political savvy by submitting himself to Mirza Raje Jaising as a “contract bond” in compliance with the Treaty of Purandar on 1665. It requires exceptional bravery to place himself inside the enemy’s encampment, and that too “alone” at an age when kids are normally involved in playing and having fun. The combination of Sambhu Raje’s wisdom and courage astonished everyone, especially Mirza Raje. Sambhaji was appointed to the rank of Mughal mansabdar due to the pact. On May 12, 1666, he and his father, Shivaji, traveled to Agra to join the court of Aurangzeb. Although Aurangzeb betrayed and placed them both under home confinement, on July 22, 1666, they successfully escaped from the house arrest. Unquestionably, he was indeed a ...

The story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj is as rich a chapter in the history of the Deccan as that of his father, the Maratha warrior and king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Born in 1657 to the revolutionary Shivaji Bhosale, Sambhaji ascended the Maratha throne in 1680, after the sudden death of his father. During his reign, he expanded the boundaries of the Maratha kingdom whilst keeping at bay the continuing attacks of the Mughal forces led by emperor Aurangzeb. His fortitude and courage shone also when he endured a betrayal that led to his capture towards the end of the 17 th century and brutality and torture before being put to death. Yet, Sambhaji’s is a tale that has been misunderstood throughout history, mired in controversy and scandal and appears as no more than a footnote in the larger story of the Deccan. For acclaimed Marathi author Vishwas Patil, it was fortuitous then to be posted in the early 2000s in Raigad district – a crucial fort town and the first capital of the Maratha Empire. The author had always wanted to write about Sambhaji, he says, “but after arriving at Raigad, it was almost as if the historic landscape, the forts, the seas, which have witnessed the life and times of the valiant Maratha warriors, beckoned to me, and I knew in earnest that I had to write their story.” In 2006, Patil produced Sambhaji, a stirring novel that would lift the darkness surrounding this monarch and hold his life to scrutiny against a sharp and critical lens. 350 years ...

Seldom has a war that went on for so long, been spoken of so little. How many Indians have heard of a war that went on for 27 years, claimed millions of lives, and ended with the humiliation of one of the greatest Empires of its times? The Maratha War of Independence, or the Mughal-Maratha War, certainly deserves a mention in the chronicles of Indian history. For it was not a war of one feuding kingdom against another. It was a war between a mighty Empire and a powerful Ideal- the Ideal of Hindavi Swarajya, or independence of the Indian people. And in the end, the Ideal won. The Setting 1681.

The rebels had scattered, with the Mughals hunting them one-by-one. Where could he go to seek refuge from his father’s wrath? The Rajputs had an answer: the hill-forts of the Deccan, under the protection of the Maratha Chhatrapati! With the famed Rajput hero Durgadas Rathore protecting him, Akbar II journeyed south and was given asylum. When Aurangzeb Alamgir heard, he was furious! That Sambhaji, son of his most implacable adversary, could defy him so openly! Aurangzeb had long dreamt of bringing the Deccan to heel, and conquering all of South India. Gathering an army of more than half a million men from all corners o...
