ABOUT THE BOOK:
This book provides a definitive account of the Maratha struggle against the Mughal Empire, spotlighting a transformative era in Indian history. It details Rajaram Bhonsle's escape to Jinji, the defense of Jinji, guerrilla campaigns by Santaji Ghorpade and Dhanaji Jadhav, and the resurgence under Tara Bai, offering a panoramic view of the Maratha War of Independence. Lesser-known figures like Santaji and Dhanaji, civil officers such as Pralhad Niraji, and local groups like the Nayaks and Berads are celebrated for their roles in uniting diverse communities in the Maratha cause.
Drawing on rare historical texts, Mughal court newsletters, and memoirs, the book ensures an authoritative narrative. It explores key battles like Dodderi (1696) and Wagingera (1706-07), the decline of the Mughal Empire, and the Marathas' cultural identity rooted in Shivaji's legacy. Leadership by Rajaram and Tara Bai underscores their adaptability and resilience amidst challenges.
