Overview
During the seventeenth century, the Mughal Empire dominated northern and central India, locked in relentless battles with various kingdoms. Amid this turbulent era, Shivaji was born with a profound awareness and a fervent desire for independence. Determined to challenge Mughal supremacy, he rose to become Chhatrapati Shivaji, laying the foundations of the Maratha Empire.
This new empire produced a lineage of remarkable leaders whose valor continues to inspire. Among them was Baji Rao I, the warrior Peshwa who led his forces to victory in thirty-six battles. Ahilyabai Holkar, the steadfast queen, defended her realm with unwavering courage, never backing down from adversity. Shivaji’s son, Sambhaji, remained a devoted supporter of his father, making crucial decisions to uphold their legacy.
This book chronicles the rise of the Maratha Empire, detailing its ascent to power, the heroic deeds of its rulers, and the enduring impact of their legacy on the region.
