Drawing upon original documents in Persian, Marathi, English, and Portuguese, the book offers a comprehensive account of Shivaji’s rise, his innovative guerrilla warfare, his coronation and southern campaigns, and his prolonged conflict with the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. It situates Shivaji within the complex political landscape of the seventeenth-century Deccan, examining his interactions with the Bijapur Sultanate, the Mughals, and European powers—while providing a detailed analysis of the Maratha administrative system, military organisation, and policies that shaped a new regional power. His work presented Shivaji not merely as a heroic warrior, but as a complex political strategist and state-builder.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstance-5JrT8oQVvUH0eiDbAvbPQ\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstanceAEml8s1am1gMg786qcltLg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstance4SQ8ddTTVpYNvx9hvPlq-Q\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ikkadukka-store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44850272272450,"sku":"IDB-NATRAJ-34","price":625.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/0206\/4706\/files\/9788181583437.png?v=1787037261","url":"https:\/\/ikkadukka.com\/products\/shivaji-and-his-times-book","provider":"Ikka Dukka Studio Private Limited.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
