Sambhaji - In the novel 'Sambhaji', leading Marathi novelist Vishwas Patil has presented a realistic picture of the brave and determined warrior personality of Chhatrapati Sambhaji, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji. By demolishing the distorted, tainted and untrue image of Sambhaji created by biased storytellers, dramatists and misguided historians, many positive and rare characteristics of Sambhaji Raja's personality have been highlighted in this novel. The struggle story of this brave son, who successfully carried on the legacy of Shivaji Maharaj for eight years while facing all his enemies simultaneously, will continue to inspire future generations. Sambhaji, the second Chhatrapati of the Marathas, who strongly resisted Aurangzeb's army of five lakhs for eight consecutive years, who sacrificed himself at the altar of the dark times at the age of only thirty-two, but Shivaji Maharaj did not lose a single important fort of the Hindavi Swarajya or a single ship of his navy. The story of this poet-hearted king and valiant warrior was entangled in doubt and rumour. Vishwas Patil has presented the hair-raising, unimaginable but true story of Sambhaji Raja, son of Lord Shiva, preserved in the inaccessible valleys of Sahyadri, seashores and unnoticed rare papers. A unique historical novel.
