It is one of the earliest English-language modern biographical sketches of Shivaji, which covers his achievements and as well as his impact as a statesperson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author describes the topography of Maharashtra and a short history of the Maratha people. The work covers the early years, i.e. his childhood, the imprisonment of his father, Shahji Bhonsla, and the beginning of his political journey. It further deals with the famous incidents such as guerrilla attacks on Afzal Khan and Shaista Khan, his capture by Raja Jai Singh, encounter with the Mughal emperor Aurangzib, and the heroic prison escape from the Agra fort. His long struggles against the Mughals, and the subsequent decline of Adil Shahis, the Sidis of Janjira, the policies towards the English, which are an important phase in understanding the emergence of the Maratha empire are dealt with next. It concludes with Shivaji's campaigns in southern India and the Konkan region, the final years, his administrative cum economic policies, his personality, and his legacy in the Indian history.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter I The Land and the People 1-21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter II Boyhood and Youth 22-57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter III First Wars with Mughals and Bijapur 58-85\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter IV Strenuous Warfare 86-119\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter V Shivaji and Jai Singh 120-166\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VI Visit to Aurangzib 167-198\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VII 1667-1670 199-237\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VIII Struggle with the Mughals 1670-1674 238-264\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter IX Coronation of Shivaji 265-290\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter X South Kanara and Konkan 291-329\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XI Naval Enterprises 330-362\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XII Invasion of the Karnatak 363-399\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XIII His Last Years 400-430\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XIV Shivaji and the English 431-454\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XV Government Institutions and Policy 455-478\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XVI Shivaji's Achievement Character and Place in History 479-499\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiography7 500-508\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Manohar Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52734617878808,"sku":"9789391928919","price":57.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/shivaji-and-his-times-hardback-9789391928919","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
