About The Book

This volume is an extensive historical account, shedding light on a critical period in Maratha history — from the pre-Shivaji period to the post-death era of Rajaram Maharaj.

The book covers the entire journey of the Maratha Empire during the 17th century, from Shahaji Maharaj’s early endeavors under other kings and his unfulfilled dream of Swarajya to the birth, rise, and death of Shivaji Maharaj. The author also details the reign of Sambhaji Maharaj after Shivaji Maharaj's death, the challenges that followed his death, the imprisonment of Yesubai and Shahu Maharaj, and the struggles faced by Rajaram Maharaj, Tarabai, and other Maratha chieftains such as Santaji and Dhanaji.

The book paints a vivid picture of the Maratha resistance against the Mughals, focusing on the Mavlas and various Maratha victories, culminating in their glorious success. It goes beyond the well-known achievements of Shivaji Maharaj, bringing attention to the unsung contributions of Shahaji Rajé, Sambhaji Rajé, Ram Rajé, and Tarabai.

With historical references and tools, Dr. Jaysingrao Pawar presents an authoritative narrative that will serve not only scholars and researchers but also general readers interested in the rich history and legacy of the Maratha Empire.
