In the presence of aurangzeb, Shambhu stands like Hanuman did in Ravan's court. He flames like a firefly, a sun on earth, his body splattered with blood and sparkling. It is understandable that aurangzeb leaves his seat in reverence when even delhi bows when he sees the lion's cub.
According to vishwas Patil's book Sambhaji, these were the words of Kavi Kalash, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's closest friend who supported him during his final days as he endured 40 days of severe torture at the hands of Aurangzeb.
The 40-day period of these cruel tortures ended on march 11, 1689, when Sambhaji Raje was executed by the Mughal emperor. Throughout his tenure as the sixth Mughal emperor, aurangzeb had to deal with the most annoying thorn in his side—the oldest son of shivaji Maharaj.
The journey that started in the Western Ghats' Sahyadris eventually made its way to delhi, the Mughal empire's heartland.
The trip was marked by unwavering resolve and the vision of Swarajya, which was so potent that it caused aurangzeb to waste more than two decades of his life in the Deccan and move the de facto capital to Aurangabad, where his mausoleum is now located.
At eight years old, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj first visited Aurangzeb's court with Chhatrapati shivaji Maharaj, who had a vision of Swarajya, where everyone lived in dignity in their own nation. This was the beginning of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's life narrative.
Even at such a young age, Sambhaji had the guts to take on the most vicious of Mughal rulers, who, according to him, came to power on the remains of his brothers.
With an escape plan devised by none other than shivaji Maharaj himself, Sambhaji Maharaj was able to fool and embarrass the Mughals at this period.
Sambhuraje, as he was lovingly known, was born on May 14, 1657, at Purandar Fort, Gehrapurandar. His mother died when he was just two years old. Jijabai, his father's side grandma, raised him, instilling in him the concept of Swarajya and introducing him to shivaji Maharaj.
In 1665, shivaji Maharaj and the Mughals signed the Treaty of Purandar near the birthplace of Sambhuraje. The deal included sending nine-year-old Sambhaji to live as a political captive with raja Jai Singh I of Amber.
In these difficult times, Sambhaji Maharaj, who could only become more resilient, never missed an opportunity to outsmart the Mughals.
In the ensuing years, Sambhaji, who harbored the ideal of Swarajya, studied under shivaji Maharaj the techniques necessary to maintain the dream and establish the maratha kingdom. He was an expert in the art of warfare, political strategy, and cavalry command in combat. vishwas Patil goes into great detail on Sambhaji's bravery in his book.
People from various walks of life offered to join the maratha army after being impressed by Sambhaji's courageous and amiable demeanor, which strengthened them.
When he was younger, he sat with guys from various social groups and castes by the Kalganga River in Maharashtra. Sambhaji was prepared to launch assaults against the Mughals when shivaji Maharaj was initially appointed the Chhatrapati of the maratha state. He and shivaji carried out other successful campaigns in the years that followed.
