About The Book: In this book, the author explores the history and context surrounding the rise of Shivaji, focusing on his interactions with various powers in India. The narrative begins with a description of Bijapur's significance, marked by its symbolic use of the crescent, indicating the dynasty's ties to the Caliphs. The author discusses Shivaji's family background and ambitious aspirations, juxtaposing them with the prevailing political landscape dominated by Muslim rulers. Despite Shivaji's Hindu heritage, the author highlights his potential for success within the Muslim government, as perceived by his guardians. However, Shivaji harbors dreams of Hindu independence, a seemingly impossible feat given the dominance of Islam in the region. The text also delves into Shivaji's lineage claims and his encounters with the English, as well as his subsequent conflicts with Aurangzeb, the formidable Mughal Emperor. Finally, the narrative culminates in Shivaji's grand coronation at Raigad, showcasing his imperial ambitions and the elaborate ceremonies surrounding the event.
