They were originally Danis of Sas­ wada doing duty as recorders of grain and accepting a portion of the same as their Vatan. Added to this Vatan, they had extensi,e lands and rich garden-plots yield­ ing fruit of all possible variety. In course of time the ancestral estates came to be 2 THE VlNCHURKAB FAMILY. divided and the family bmnched oft' into twO: households. The elder household claims th~ distinction of producing the man who founde~ the well-known Raje-Bahaddar £'lmily of Nasik and Malegaon. But the sturdy per: sonality, who made the Yinchoorkar name, famous in the annals of the Deccan, was born' in the younger household. Shiwajeepant of the younger household, had three sons; Abumo, Trimbakrao, and Vithnl Shivdev, born in 1695-the youngest of the lot. Speaking in a worldly sense the house­ hold was not very well oft'; but the elder two, Aburaoand Trimbakrao, did what lay in them to bear the burden of family mainten­ a.nce. As regards Vithal Shivdev, he WIIS sowing his wild oots. Of medium height, he was of a strong build and had long arm s 'reaching down to his knees. He had a pas· sion for riding and outdoor sports, was ha~ of muscle and bone und as good an athlctd ITs RISE AND PROGRESS. -3 as could be summoned all the country round. But he did nothing to bear the family-burden and came in for harsh words and harsh treat­ ment at the hands of his two elder brothers. This was galling in itself, but the climax: was reached when his father one day rebuked the youngster for his wild tendencies.. He would prefer, he remarked, to see his son dead ; the idle do-nothing was ouly a bur­ densome addition to the family. He finished by asking Vithal Shivdev to clear out, who thereupon fixed his residence at Madhe, situate three miles from Satara. There he devoted himself to a saint by name Amritswami and upon the retirement of Amritswami he oftered his single-minded devotion to his successor, Pawanbawa. This latter recommended Vithal Shivdev to one Bakshi, a respectable servant of Shahu, the king of Satara. And Bakshi employed him in his household to superintend the management of his horse. 4 THE VINCHURKAR FAMILY. King Shllhu hlld a pllssion for hunting. Vithnl Shiv~ev mllnllged on one occasion to join the hunting-pllrty of the King. The pnrty roused Il hoar and hemmed the animal ~in. The boar made desperate efforts to rush through the encircling huntsmen and it ;seemedss ,if it w.()uld succeed in its last iii$­ forts, when Vi!thal Shivdev penmcia:Jg tupon -the animal closed his thighs round its 'body and held on to it, clutching its ears. AnOll came the King who spiked the animal through as it lay in Vithal's grip. Being please41 with the exploit, Shahu took him over into his service, where he continued to show him­ self deserving of the favour ~ and rose to be :the commandant of ten horsemen. And thea at the age of 21 he was married to th~ daughter of the Kulkarni of KENJALGAON. In 1720 Chimnnji Appa was despatched. to put down the rebellious Nabob Siddi-Saila'of Jllnjira-an island on the Konkan "..onst. ITs RISE AND PROGRESS. 1) Yithal Shivdev accompanied Chimnaji Appa. ia this expedition. Greatly he distingl:i,;l,ed himself in the fight and cut down the KaLab. in person. As a result he was raised to the­ command of the horse he brought over from the enemy. On personally hearing the tale of the exploit from Chimnaji Appa, Shahu had his services transferred for the Peshwa's benefit. Balaji Yishwanath died in 1720 and in 1722 Bajirao was elected to succe-ed him in his office as the Second Peshwa. Next year Baji­ l'ao had to meet Daudkhan-the Mahomedan General sent against him by the Subhedar of Malwa. At Burhanpur the fight came on and Daudkhan was utterly routed. Yithal Shivdev accompanied Bajirao in this expedition and as was to be expected, acquitted himself well in the fight. In 1724 Bajiraoturned his arms to· wards Dehli and Vithal Shivdev was found in the forefront of every encounter with the Ma- 6 THB VDlCHURXAB FA1IILY. homed:m enemy of the Peshwa. As a conse­ quence he was asked to enlist a great number of recruits under his command. Then came the request of his Guru Amritswami to build afresh the decaying temple of Narshinha, standing in the encircling confiuence of Bhee­ ma and N eera. In H30 Vithal Shivdev assisted Cbimnaji Appa to punish Dayabahaddar, the new Su­ bhedar ofMalwa, who objected tothelIahratta claim for Chauth and Surdeshmukhi. In 1731 Sayaji Gujjar commanded the expedition against Gadhemandala. Vithal Shivdev was ordered to go out in his aid. Faithfully he performed the task and captured the furt. As a reward he was raised to the command of an independent battalion. Also it was ordered henceforward that the expenses oi Vithal Shivdev, private and those incurred for the maintenance of the force under him;. should be met from the Peshwa treasury. ITs RISE AND PROGRESS. 7 Vithal Shivdev accompanied Bajirao in 1733 when the latter surprised Futtekhan Bangash, the Subhedar of Malwa, and forced him to :fly from Bundelkhand. The Subhedar had been pouring his army into Bundelkhand; as a result Rajaphhatrasala found himself pres­ sed hard and sent for aid to Bajirao. Vithllli Shivdev was the righthand man of the Peshwa in that surprise·expedition and as usual it gave him one more occasion to add to the lustre of his arms. , The year 1739 is remarkable in the Peshwa annals as witnessing the great fight between the Mahrattas and the Portuguese for the fort of Bassein. Vithal Shivdev formed one of the band of valourouB Lieutenants, who helped the plucky Chimnaji Appa to capturE! the fort. Vithal Shivdev was o,sked next to . fight the Portuguese, independently on the sea-coast o,nd he captured the seaward placea of the Portuguese, Salsette and others. , 8 THE VINGHURKAR FAMILY. In 1740 Bajirao engaged himself in forming II coalition of Rajputs against the Noghuls and he did not fail to take Vithal Shivdev with him. At this time Bajirao intended swooping down upon Nasirjang, Nizam­ ulmulk's son, who had established his camp in the ,vicinity of Aurangabad. But rein­ forcements reached the' prince opportunely and what was intented as a surprise-attack developed into a great fight. In this battle Vithal Shivdev is said to have surpassed even his usual valiant self. Ultimately in the treaty concluded at Mungipaithana, the Nizam agreed to cede- two districts on the Narbuda coast and gave the Peshwa as Jahagir a few villages in the Chandwad pro­ vince. The Jahagir was, however, made over to Vithal Shivdev for the maintenaDC& of the horse under him. Soon aft;er Bajirao died and' the office passed on to his son Balaji Bajira~ ITs RISE AND PROGRESS. 9 Thus the naughty do-nothing boy whose death was devoutly wished by his parents had made a name for himself. The obscure huntsman of Shahu had been gradually for­ ging ahead. He had illumined his obscurity with the glory of his arm.

Taraporevala Sons & Co., Hornby Road, Fort, Bombay. PREFACE It is well known that for a hundred and fifty years after the foundation of the East India Company their representatives in ·India merely confined their activities to trade, and did not con· cern themselves with the game of building an empire in the East. But after the middle of the 18th century, a severe war broke out in Europe between England and France, now known as the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), which soon affected all the colonies and trading centres which the two nations already possessed in various parts of the globe. In the end Britain came out victorious, having scored brilliant successes both in India and America. The British triumph in India was chiefly due to Clive's masterly strategy on the historic battlefields in the Presidencies of Madras and Bengal. It should be remembered in this connection that there was then not one common or supreme authority or control over the three British establishments or Presidencies of Bengal, Madras and Bombay.

While thousands of tourists visit Jhansi each year, many miss the layered past of the city. In fact, few who visit the famous Jhansi Fort each year, even know that it is in its historic Ganesh Mandir that Rani Laxmibai got married.
