Original materials, both published and unpublished, have been accumulating for the last sixtv years and their volume often frightens the average student.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 I must confess that no historical document has found a place in the present volume, but I felt that the chronicles or bakhars could not be excluded from the present series and I began with Sabhasad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.

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.

Shivaji's Fortunes and Possessions
The Life of Shivaji Maharaj, 414-420, 2017 (Online Edition). N. Takakhav Chapter 31 Shivaji’s Fortunes and Possessions N. S. Takakhav Professor, Wilson College, Bombay. Editor Published Online Kiran Jadhav 17 March 2018 The life story of Shivaji has been told in the preceding chapters. It is proposed in the present chapter to make an attempt to estimate the extent of his power, possessions and wealth at the time of his death. Nor should it be quite an uninteresting subject to make such an audit of his wealth and possessions, seeing that it furnishes an index to the measure of his success in his ceaseless toils of over thirty-six years, in that war of redemption which he had embarked upon against the despotism of the Mahomedan rulers of the country. At the time when the Rajah Shahaji transferred his allegiance from the fallen house of the Naizam Shahi sultans to that of the still prosperous Adil Shahi dynasty and in the service of that government entered upon the sphere of his proconsular authority in the Karnatic, he had left his Maharashtra jahgirs, as we have seen, under the able administration of the loyal Dadaji Kondadev. These jahgir estates comprised the districts of Poona, Supa, Indapur, Daramati and a portion of the Maval country. This was the sole patrimony derived by Shivaji from his illustrious father at the time he embarked upon his political career. Even these districts were held on the sufferance of the Bijapur government and were saddled with feudal burdens. That government was in a position to have cancelled or annexed these jahgirs at any time.

CHAPTER TII RELATIONS OF THB «ADIL SHAHS OF BIJAPUR WITH THE MARATHAS SEC. It BACKGROUND At the time of the establishment of the 'Adil Shahl Kingdom In 895/1 ^ 9 there did not exist any Maratha State, Most of the Maratha chieftains, holding hilly forts, were already absorbed In that terrltoiy of the BahmanI Kingdom which later on constituted the Bljapur Kingdom. Those who were outside the Jurisdiction of the original Bljapur Kingdom were gradually brought under the suzerainty of Yusuf 'Adll Shah and his successors. ConseQuently ythe Bljapur Kingdom extended over almost the entire Maratha / country. And hence, the deaograi^ic factors and the social structure which was preralllng in the Deccan necesslated the esta blishment of cordlaG. social relations between the Bljapurl rulers and the Marathas for peaceful co-existence and the integration of the Kingdom. Thus, Tusuf »Adil ffliah from the very beginning - within two years after the founding of his-Sultanate, adopted the policy of reconciliatlng the Maratha chieftains in his kingdom by granting them jagir and mangab. And in order to establish intimate rela tions with the Marathas, it is said that he married the sister of :i4« Mukund Rao, and gave her the title of "Bibl Khanua”. Her son was Isma’Il 'Adil, second ruler of 'Adil Shahl dynasty; and her three daughters were married to the three Sultans of the Deccan Kingdoms. Likewise! following Into the foot-steps of the founder of the dynasty, his successors showed a greater preference for the Marathas, both as men of business and as soldiers.

A Critical Analysis of Akbar‟ S Religious Policy: Din-I Ilahi
International Relations and Diplomacy, June 2016, Vol. 4, No. 6, 407-417 doi: 10.17265/2328-2134/2016.06.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Critical Analysis of Akbar‟s Religious Policy: Din-i Ilahi Cemil Kutlutürk Ankara University, Ankara, Turkey Columbia University, NY, USA The period of Akbar‟s rule (1556-1605) has been regarded as one of the most significant and incomparable periods in Indian history in particular regarding with Hindu Muslim interaction. Indeed, Akbar‟s success stemmed from his religious policy that based on Sulh-i Kul (universal peace and harmony) between all his subjects regardless with their social, ethical or religious identities. His religious policy was not a sudden event, rather emerged from in the course of time depending on different internal and external factors. The final stage of Akbar‟s religious policy, the Din-i Ilahi (Religion of God), was a syncretic religious movement propounded by him in 1582 A.D., was one of the most substantial dimensions of mutual interaction and relationship between Hinduism and Islam. The primary aim of this paper, therefore, is to examine the factors influencing Akbar‟s religious policy and to analyze critically Akbar‟s Din-i Ilahi by dealing with its basic features and virtues which more or less shaped his attitudes towards other religious and social groups. Keywords: Akbar, religious policy, Din-i Ilahi, Hindu-Muslim Interaction, the Medieval India Introduction After the arrival of Muslim traders in India in the seventh and eighth centuries, interactions and interrelations between Muslims and Hindus have been commenced. In fact the earliest accounts of encounters between Arab Muslims and South Asian Hindus demonstrate a wide range of interactions and mutual relations.
