A disruptive analysis of Shivaji Bhosale: Hindu King under Aurangzeb Rule

Shivaji was born in 1628 and in 1680 he was 52 years old. His whole life was spent in the shadow of India's biggest Mogul winner ie Aurangzeb. As much as we defame Aurangzeb, this fact cannot be ruled out that he has ruled the largest empire in India so far, and any other Indian king or emperor, including Emperor Ashoka, did not rule over a large area from Aurangzeb.

  

Aurangzeb was the Shahan Shah (King of Kings) and this was the greeting with which Guru Gobind Singh addressed him in Zafarnama in his letter, which is part of the "Dasam Granth". Shivaji was also as such that Gobind Singh lived at that time when Aurangzeb was at his peak and the fact is that even after the death of Shivaji in 1680, Aurangzeb survived for 27 years before breathing the last in 1707.

  

Shivaji ruled in comparison with Aurangzeb compared to an Aurangzeb region and should accept the fact that Shivaji was a short time ruler than Aurangzeb. Most of Shivaji's construction has been done after independence and now he is also associated as part of the freedom movement. However, many Western historians have abolished the life of Shivaji, they have concluded that he was a small time chief in the Mughal rule. We can now try and do a little research and remove the rhetoric and legend from the bald facts of history that Shivaji has great places and what place for soldiers like Chengiz Khan, Ghajini, Alexander and Robert Live.

  

Shivaji's contribution as a soldier

  

Many Romantic Shivaji in Maharashtra and around Fringe areas around this state talking about their "victory" over the Mughals. But the fact is that nobody outside of these areas seems to know about Shivaji as it was a local influence. When I was posted at Headquarters Eastern Air Command, I was surprised that in the past people had never heard of Shivaji, but he had heard about Robert Clive and Ghazni. So readers can draw their conclusions. There are many myths in Maharashtra and one of them is echoing by many Yogins that Shivaji defeated Aurangzeb and his army badly. Many Yugen people in Pune gave me information about this.

  

Though the facts are different though the fact is different. The British historians who love India like Cunningham have opposed the fact that Shivaji was influenced in only a few districts around Pune, especially in the Western Ghats region and Aurangzeb with him as a short-time ruler and bandit. Behind, because this occasion robbed the royal treasure. Thus, Shivaji's control was limited to Aurangzeb's lands. He never had a large army and Raj Jai Singh, C. Apart from a war with the army of the Mughals, he has never been able to fight the second battle. In this special fight known as Chakan's fight fought in 1660, the Maratha army was defeated under Shivaji.

  

To discuss the second battle between the Shiva and the Mughal army sent by Aurangzeb to the battle of Purandar fought in 1665. The Mughal army commander was again King Jai Singh and he was assisted by General Dilar Khan. This fight is important because, after the death of Maratha General Murar Baji Prabhu on 2nd June 1665, the steam of the Mughals won the victory. Shivaji was defeated and he surrendered to 23 forts.

  

However, Shivaji won some battles, but most of them were small matters and he would live when the big soldiers of the Mughal army retreated. But he was a brave man, but bravely does not win, but rather tactics and support. The fact is that many Maratha warriors were sitting with the Mughals and Shivaji was fighting with one hand tied behind his back. Thus, he could not maintain an open battle or attacks like Alexander Mahan, Chagyz Khan or Mahmud of Ghazni, the great winner of history, Alexander the Great.

  

Shivaji resorted to guerrilla tactics and they were very successful in this. But the writings of Che Guevara and Mao Tse Tung who are masters of guerrilla strategy, teach us that guerrilla war can be upset and teasing, but guerrilla war can never be over its victory. At some level, the guerrilla war will have to be transformed into a traditional war and only then will it win. Mao changed his guerrilla war after the long march and at the end of World War II, he won a traditional war against Chiang Kai Shek's nationalist forces. So what Ho Chi Minh also changed the guerrilla war into a traditional war in Vietnam and overturned the South in the final stages. Garibaldi of Italy is also an example.

Shivaji was the most successful guerilla captain of the war, but he could not convert his type of war into a traditional war and could defeat Aurangzeb. It was his decadence and weakness, and the result was that he remained only an idiom in the vast empire of Aurangzeb, which spread from Afghanistan to Bengal and to the deep south. Since the death of Aurangzeb and reaching the scene of Baji Rao, the Maratha Empire began to take shape. But again it was a short term because, in the third battle of Panipat in 1761, the Maratha empire was removed and crushed by the Duke of Wellesley.

  

Upon coming to Shivaji, he should be credited with raising the banner of revolt against Aurangzeb, who was a big ruler in factual matters. He destroyed the Hindu temples and was a devout man. His Indian world was with Islamic eyes, but there was no dearth of his ability as a great winner.

  

The fact is that most of the time when the Mughal army marched in power against Shivaji, he was always better than them. In 1679 famous battle of Bhopalgarh was fought. The Mughal army encircled the fort of Bhupalgarh and lost Shivaji.

  

It is very sad to read all this, but as a soldier, I am disputed and not by rhetoric. The final battle was fought by Shivaji and the Mughals right before his death. This was the battle of Sangamner in 1679. This battle was fought by Shivaji after returning from a sack of Jalna. The battle lasted 3 days and when Maratha Senapati Siddhoji Nimbaal was killed with 2000 soldiers. It was a curious defeat. Shivaji escaped from the battlefield with 500 soldiers. After the expiry of the next year (1680), Shivaji was upset.

  

Shiva had no doubt about a great and brave man, but unlike the great captains of military history, one must conclude that Shivaji was not in the same class.

  

Assessment of Shivaji

  

Before we pass judgment on Shivaji, then the socio-economic status in India should be remembered. The fact is that Hindus were a defeated lot and caste discrimination was very much. In addition, sati, child marriage and strange assumptions like fries ruled the government. The golden age of the Gupta and Muara empire was a matter of the past and India's soul was caught by a new and foreign faith.

  

It was time for somebody to carry and carry the Hindu flag. This is also the period when Hindus did not have any meaningful leader or hero to emulate or cheer. Shivaji came to the spot and incited the spirits of Hindus and they got the full marks for it. There is no doubt that they are not among great soldiers and winners, but they kept the Hindu flag alive by their bravery and example. In order to challenge Sheehan Shah, Aurangzeb considered himself the most powerful in the Mughal emperors. Still, Shivaji lifted his sword against them. They did not get success, this is a fact, but they tricked the Hindus and showed that willpower, everything is possible.

  

After the death of Shivaji and Aurangzeb, the legacy of Shivaji was extended by others and established a Maratha empire. The roots of this lie are rooted in Shivaji's tough campaign. For the Mughals, Shivaji's defeat in the retrospect was a Pyrrhic victory because the Mughal empire declined after Aurangzeb.

  

Also, we should assure Shivaji as a soldier in world history. Their biggest contribution is not whether they win or lose, but they have the opportunity to show the Hindus and the world that they can also fight. But portraying him as a great winner is a misnomer
