These attacks enraged Aurangzeb and he sent his biggest army contingent ever, led by his Rajput general Mirza Raja Jaisingh to take on Shivaji. His officers raided the Mughal port of Surat and Shivaji himself defeated Shaista Khan, the maternal uncle of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. He also challenged Hindu orthodoxy by bringing forced converts like his ex- general Netaji Palkar and his brother-in-law Bajaji Nimbalkar back into the folds of Hinduism.Īfter Shivaji had reigned in the three Islamic Sultanates of the South, he turned his sight towards the Mughal empire. He never discriminated against anyone based on their religion. Shivaji was a devout Hindu, but he respected the right of his subjects to practise any religion they wanted. He sent her back to her family after honouring her with gifts. He is said to have looked at her face and said, ‘If my mother were as beautiful, I would have been good-looking too’. There is a legendary story, where the daughter-in-law of the Subhedar of Kalyan was presented to him as a part of the victory spoils, in keeping with the tradition of the Islamic Sultanates. When he was barely 16, Shivaji ordered that the hands and feet of the Patil of Ranjha were to be cut off, because he had raped a woman and killed her! Throughout his rule, Shivaji made the safety and honour of women his priority. Shivaji was particularly incensed by the way women were abducted, raped and discarded like a disposable commodity. She made Shivaji aware of how the common people were being oppressed by the three Islamic Sultanates ruling the south, Adilshahi of Bijapur, Nizamshahi of Ahmednagar and Qutabshahi of Golconda. Jijabai fuelled Shivaji’s appetite for valour and glory by telling him stories from the Ramayan and Mahabharat.

When Shivaji was yet a toddler, his mother brought him to Pune, a village that formed the hereditory Jagir of the Bhonsle clan. Shivaji’s story would make any Superhero proud! He was born in the year 1630. Most Indians know Shivaji as a great warrior king, but there is much more to Shivaji Maharaj.
