Original materials, both published and unpublished, have been accumulating for the last sixtv years and their volume often frightens the average student. Sir Asutosh Mookerjee, therefore, suggested that a selection in a handy form should be made where all the useful documents should be in- cluded. I must confess that no historical document has found a place in the present volume, but I felt that the chronicles or bakhars could not be excluded from the present series and I began with Sabhasad bakhar leaving the documents for a subsequent volume. This is by no means the first English rendering of Sabhasad. Jagannath Lakshman Mankar translated Sabhasad more than thirty years ago from a single manuscript. The late Dr. Vincent A. Smith over- estimated the value of Mankar's work mainly because he did not know its exact nature. A glance at the catalogue of Marathi manuscripts in the British Museum might have convinced him that the original Marathi Chronicle from which Mankar translated has not been lost.

This CD version is a part of a scheme of preparing compact discs of earlier published District Gazetteers. Satara District Gazetteer was published in 1963. It contains authentic and useful information on several aspects of the district and is considered to be of great value to administrators, scholars and general readers. The copies of this edition are now out of stock. Considering its utility, therefore, need was felt to preserve this treasure of knowledge. In this age of modernization, information and technology have become key words. To keep pace with the changing need of hour, I have decided to bring out CD version of this edition with little statistical supplementary and some photographs. It is also made available on the website of the state government www.maharashtra.gov.in. I am sure, scholars and studious persons across the world will find this CD immensely beneficial.

Thorat, Director General, Pravara Rural Education Society at th the London School of Economics and Politics on 26 September 2019. Excerpt from his speech: There have always been the 3 constants ... Death, Taxes and CHANGE! Software: Software will disrupt most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years. Uber is just a software tool, they don't own any cars, and are now the biggest taxi company in the world. Airbnb is now the biggest hotel company in the world, although they don't own any properties. Artificial Intelligence: Computers become exponentially better in understanding the world. This year, a computer beat the best Go player in the world, 10 years earlier than expected. In the US, young lawyers already don't get jobs. Because of IBM Watson, you can get legal advice (so far for more or less basic stuff) within seconds, with 90% accuracy compared with 70% accuracy when done by humans. So if you study law, stop immediately. There will be 90% less lawyers in the future, only specialists will remain. Watson already helps nurses diagnosing cancer, 4 times more accurate than human nurses. Facebook now has a pattern recognition software that can recognize faces better than humans. In 2030, computers will become more intelligent than humans. AutonoMOUs Cars: In 2019 the first self-driving cars will appear for the public. Around 2020, the complete industry will start to be disrupted.

  • 5. the Foundation of the Swaraj
    5. The Foundation of the Swaraj In the first half of the seventeenth century, an epoch making personality emerged in Maharashtra - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He established Swaraj by challenging the unjust ruling powers here. Shivaji Maharaj was born at the Shivneri fort near Junnar in Pune district on the day of Phalgun Vadya Tritiya in the Shaka year 1551, that is on 19 February 1630. Shahajiraje : Shahajiraje, the father of Shivaji Maharaj was a pre-eminent Sardar in the Deccan. The Mughals had launched a campaign to conquer the Nizamshahi Kingdom. The Adilshah of Bijapur allied with the Mughals in this campaign. Shahaji Maharaj did not wish the Mughals to get an entry into the South. So he tried to save Nizamshahi by offering stiff resistance to the Mughals. But he could not withstand the combined might of the Mughals Shahajiraje and the Adilshah. The Nizamshahi was defeated and came to an end in 1636 CE. After the Nizamshahi was wiped out, Shahajiraje became a Sardar of the Adilshah of Bijapur. The region comprising Pune, Supe, Indapur and Chakan parganas located between the Bheema and Neera rivers was vested in Shahajiraje as a jagir. This was continued by the Adilshah, and he also granted the jagir of Bengaluru and the neighbouring areas in Karnataka to Shahajiraje. For your information Jahagir or jagir means the right to enjoy the revenue of a region. The Sardars in the service of rulers used to get the revenue of the region as income instead of getting salaries directly. The region was chosen in such a way that the revenue would be equal to the salary.

    AIJRA Vol. II Issue I www.ijcms2015.co ISSN 2455-5967 Importance of Chhatrapti Shivaji Methodologies on the Battleground: An Analysis *Dr. Sunita Meena Abstract The lord of the influential Maratha empire was Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (Shivaji Shahaji Bhosale). In the western region of India during the 17th century. He was well known for his Naval Forts and Armies. In the year 1630 (19 February 1630), Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (Shivaji Shahaji Bhosale) was born in the fort of Shivneri, near the town of Junner (Pune District). In honour of the Goddess Shivai Devi, his mother, Jijabai Bhosale, called him Shivaji. Chhatrapati Shivaji was dedicated to Jijabai Bhosale, his mother, who was highly religious. This kind of atmosphere had a tremendous effect on Shivaji Maharaj. Hindu Ramayan and Mahabharat's Holy History Books were closely read by Shivaji Chhatrapati Shivaji in possession of around 360 forts at the time of his death. Keywords: Influential, Dedicated, Tremendous, Effect. Introduction: The lord of the Maratha empire in western India was Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He is considered one of the greatest heroes of his day, and still now, as part of legend, tales of his adventures are narrated. Shivaji carved an enclave out of the weakening Adilshahi sultanate of Bijapur with his bravery and great administrative abilities. It finally became the Maratha Empire's genesis. After establishing his rule, Shivaji, with the help of a disciplined military and well-established administrative set-up, instituted a professional and egalitarian administration. Shivaji is renowned for his groundbreaking military techniques based on non-conventional strategies that take advantage of strategic factors such as geography, speed, and surprise to defeat his stronger enemies.
