Description:

• Born to Shivaji and his first wife, Saibai, Sambhaji was destined to carry forward the Maratha Empire.

• Born at Purandar Fort, Sambhaji was raised by his paternal grandmother, Jijabai.

• As part of the Treaty of Purandar, Shivaji sent Sambhaji to live with Raja Jai Singh of Amber as a political hostage, where he was raised as a Mughal sardar and served in Aurangzeb’s court.

• After Shivaji’s death, Sambhaji faced opposition from his stepmother, Soyarabai Mohite, who tried to install her son, Rajaram, as the rightful heir to the throne.

• Escaping imprisonment, Sambhaji ascended the throne on July 20, 1680.

• A brilliant strategist and fearless leader, he proved himself worthy of ruling the Marathas, though his reign was short-lived.

• This book delves into his remarkable life, shedding light on the ruler he truly was.
