The Shah or King •Mostly a Muslim. •He was paid by and appointed by the king to look a er a subha or a province and keep an eye on the region's Subhedar or Jagirdars and Watandars.

With those funds he was to maintain a conngent of horsemen for Jagirdar or the his king as well as use some of the money for his personal expenses. fief •He had no hereditary rights over the estates the king bestowed upon them. •They were mostly Hindus, sons-of-the-soil. •They were supposed to encourage the culvators, collected revenue, levies, and taxes from their region for the king. •Large pieces of tax-free lands were given to them as inams (gi s) and at mes, some share of the Watandar or the government revenue also went to them generaon a er revenue collector generaon. •Were either a Pal (head of a village) or Deshmukh (head of a region).

Comparing Army Strengths of the three forces in 1650 The development of the Bhosalejagir under Shivaji, especially repairing, restoring and manning of the hill-forts, had become a bone of contention for Mohammad Adil Shah, the king of Adilshahi kingdom. He asked Shahaji Bhosale for an explanation, Shahaji gave a valid reason that the forts were in ruins and his son simply restored them to prevent further damage and bring in some kind of order. He (Shahaji), nonetheless, sent warning letters to Dadaji Kondadeo, as well as Shivaji, asking for justification. Dadaji replied that Shivaji was not listening to him and that was that. Shivaji had other ideas germinating in his mind and had already started discussing his dream with his friends from Maval. Shahaji even asked for a part of the revenue his jagir was generating to maintain his horsemen to defend the Adilshahi but Shivaji had declared that what was produced was meagre and not enough. Something else was happening in the valley of Javali, southeast of the Bhosale jagir. The valley belonged to the Wai province of the Adilshahi and in the 16th century, it was granted to a Maratha family surnamed Morey, as jagir. The then king of the Adilshahi kingdom, Ibrahim Adil Shah had bestowed the 70 Rev 9_Challenging Destiny_26-05-2017.indd 70 26-05-2017 11:51:45 Medha Deshmukh Bhaskaran Map 1.

Division of land in the Mughal Empire 20 Territory Assigned as jagirs Khalisa (best of the land, directly under the 80 Emperor) Fig. 3. Coming back to the mansabdars under Aurangzeb, Shah Jahan added insult to injury by announcing that all mansabdars in the Deccan must maintain the expected number of horsemen and ordered branding of the horses (with the mansabdar’s name) to make sure of the numbers. The emperor did not stop at that, he also 14 Some of the high-ranking mansabdars had a huge number of horsemen under them. The mansabdars had ranks and there were 28 dhat ranks – from 10 to 7000. mansabdars holding more than 1000 dhats were called Omrahs or Amirs. The high and mighty of the era, including Mughal princes fell into this category. The next number is sawar or horsemen – but these numbers were for official papers. For example, if a mansabdar held a rank of 1000 dhats/1000 sawars, the actual number of horsemen he kept was less than half or even lesser (the actual figure was mentioned as du aspa sih aspa). There was no distinction between the military and civil mansabdars; only civil mansabdars (like medics, accountants, and palace administrators) had more dhats and less sawars. The seniority was liked to the dhat figure, and an accountant holding a 1000 dhat and just 10 sawars was considered equal to military mansabdars holding 1000 dhats and 1000 sawars. Mansabdars were paid separately for the dhat and for the sawars; the dhat figure was their personal salary and the sawar figure was to maintain the horsemen and horses in his contingent. 85 Rev 9_Challenging Destiny_26-05-2017.indd 85 26-05-2017 11:52:00 Medha Deshmukh Bhaskaran Map 2.

  • 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.

    Rajgad Fort, no doubt India is a country blessed with a diverse and rich history. The spectacular monuments can be taken as a reminder that just how glorious that heritage it. India has notorious temples and phenomenal infrastructures which are just soaked in mysteries. There are numerous historical architectures i.e. India has about 2 million or more beautiful temples and about 1000 forts. India is known as the land of forts. Spread over the entire country these forts today are a popular tourist attraction. These forts are of a great significance and you could find their names mentioned in important history chapters as well. If you’re a history lover and just love to soak in all that history like me then the Rajagd Fort should really be on your bucket list. The Fort is nearly 450 years old. This was the first fort built by a great Indian warrior-king Chhatrapati Shivaji Rajgad Fort Maharaj Bhosale and was the capital of the Maratha Empire for almost 26 years. This fort is located in Pune, district Maharashtra on the hill-top offering an eye-dropping panoramic view of the city above.

  • 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.

  • “Shivaji Is the Last Constructive Genius and a Nation Builder That the Hindu Races Produced” Discuss This View
    GORTERIA JOURNAL ISSN: 0017-2294 “Shivaji is the last constructive genius and a nation builder that the Hindu races produced” discuss this view Dr. Lekshmy P.L. Assistant Professor and HOD Department of History Sree Kerala Varma College, Thrissur, Calicut University, Kerala ABSTRACT Shivaji was not only a brave solider, but also a most capable organizer and ruler. The administrative modernization Shivaji introduced was aimed at the improvement of the existing administrative system and also for the all round progress of the Maratha People. To save the nation from outside attacks was also included in his administrative objectives. The Marathas were brave and desirous of freedom. They loved their mother land and religion. Because of this, they have not wasted any opportunities suitable for their growth. In fact the rise and growth of the Maratha power has not happened accidently. They rose naturally by the mutual influence of certain decisive powers acted lively in the political social cultural life of India for centuries. The Marathas were having many concessions available from nature. The attackers were not easily allowed to conquer this region of land because of array of Sahyadri from north to south and from east to west by Satpura- Vindhya array of mountains. Not only that, people of this area were blessed with perfect climate, and were rich with qualities like simplicity, steady enthusiasm, perseverance, thrift, habit of self dependence, patriotism, courage etc. The reason for this was that this region filled with mountains was comparatively infertile. Keywords: Confrontation with Bijapur, Administrative System & Regional rule, Tax System & Execution of Law & order Introduction Shivaji was born as the son of Gija Bai and Shajibonslay on February 29 th 1630 at Shivner.
