Sambhaji Maharaj

Sambhaji Maharaj Chhaava movie

For 9 years, Sambhaji Maharaj also fought like his father. This film Chava is based on the life of the second ruler of the Maratha Empire. So the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is doing well at the box office.

In this, Vicky Kaushal’s performance brings the character of Shambhaji to life. Greatly, Director Laxman Utekar made this film to touch the hearts of the audience. This film has also received critical acclaim and praise on social media.

Sambhaji maharaj converted into Islam ?

So Shambhaji led many military campaigns. The most important of which was the attack on Burhanpur under the Mughal rule. Then he rejected Aurangzeb’s offer to leave him if he converted to Hinduism. But he preferred to sacrifice his life for Hinduism. He refused to back down even in adverse situations.

Now, Shambhaji was also a researcher. While fighting tirelessly to save the kingdom, on the other hand. Here he became proficient in several languages. So much so, he gave priority to education and science.

Sambhaji Maharaj strength

 A lot—we can learn a great deal from his innovative war strategies and leadership. Adhering to the ideology he believed in, the sacrifices he made for the people. And the loyalty he showed to them is indescribable.

Above all, his determination, discipline, and self-reliance remain an inspiration to today’s generation. His life shows that true strength lies not in power alone. But in personality and perseverance.

Aurangazeb dream to Islam India

Being king, Aurangzeb’s dream was to convert Hindu India into an Islamic country. Many people had tried this before him. They did not succeed. Mostly, Shaista Khan, Diler Khan, Dawood Khan, Mahabat Khan, and Bahadur Khan—Marathas defeated all his brave soldiers and subedars.

Hundreds of soldiers and chieftains died in various battles. 50–60 thousand soldiers died. So the Marathas/British/East India Company destroyed the prestige of the Delhi-Mughal empire. Finely, Aurangzeb himself thought of going to the south many times.But he refrained from it due to fear for his life (security issue).

Sambhaji Maharaj maintain Hind Swaraj

During Shivaji’s presence, he trembled with fear. Then, defeat, he thought, would cost him his honor. With the death of Shivaji in 1680, the fear disappeared. A good opportunity came.

For a long time, Shivaji consolidated Hindu Swaraj and gained great prestige. In this race, Shambhaji could not maintain it well. But Shivaji brought great honor to the Hindu throne. Shambhaji earned a reputation as a great warrior.

His whole life, Shambhaji showed his anger to the Mughal rulers. And he fiercely defended Hindu women against Mughal atrocities. So he took the responsibility of saving the honor and lives of Hindu women. Mostly those who were facing severe troubles due to the Mughals.

None of Aurangzeb’s chieftains and soldiers came forward to confront Shambhaji. Such was the valor of Shambhaji. Aurangzeb asked his eldest son to go and attack Shambhaji.

What happened to Aurangazeb son?

Here he conditioned that Amir Khan must accompany the army to Afghanistan. Then he would go and attack Shambhaji. Recalling Amir Khan would result in the loss of the territory. So it would fall under the control of Afghanistan’s enemies.

It became clear that none of his allies were ready to confront Shambhaji. In a hopeless situation, Aurangzeb temporarily abandoned his attempt to attack Maharashtra.

Aurangazeb captured Bijapur and Golconda

In this, he tried to subdue the sultans of Bijapur and Golconda for three years. So this was a good opportunity for Shambhaji. But Shambhaji did not make much effort to profit from it. Shambhaji focused on reorganizing his internal administration. Thinking that he would see if Aurangzeb attacked him.

That time, Aurangzeb noticed this situation. Here he took the initiative to take advantage. He moved his army. So he attacked the parts of Maharashtra that were Hindu Swaraj. Finally, the Mughal soldiers took control of Khandesh and Konkan.

However, Aurangzeb knew that Shambhaji’s survival stood in the way of his conquest of Maharashtra. So Sambhaji excelled in the struggle for independence.

Sambhaji always thinks like Shivaji?

Only by capturing and converting Sambhaji to his side. But he would make the expansion of the Mughal empire in the south and Maharashtra possible. He thought of a strategy to capture Sambhaji. But again, Sambhaji did not think comprehensively like Shivaji.

The ministers, soldiers, and people should have ascended the throne with the consent of all. But since Sambhaji ascended the throne immediately after Shivaji died. So not everything is known to Sambhaji.

Aurangazeb continuous attack

Sambhaji spent his time in continuous wars with Aurangzeb. Regardless of the experienced elders who worked for Shivaji. Since he was a brave warrior, he easily faced Aurangzeb. Due to Shivaji, he established a good system.

Continuously, Shambhaji regretted his unilateral decisions. Danger had already loomed. He bravely refused Aurangzeb’s order.Aurangzeb became angry. He tied his legs and arms tightly and completely restrained him. So he ordered their chief to bring Shambhaji before him. After capture, he tortured him repeatedly and repeatedly to convert to Islam.

Sacrifice

Shambhaji, while enduring the pain, smiled and defied Aurangzeb. Then he defiantly proclaimed his fearlessness in the face of death. So Aurangzeb’s anger reached its peak. Aurangzeb’s men brutally tortured him for 40 days.

They ripped out his eyeballs and tore off his nails. Then savagely peeled off his skin while he was still alive. He asked if he would convert to Islam. He promised to give me his daughter’s hand in marriage. He also assured me that he would not convert to Islam. That he would not capture even a single fort.

Death

Sambhaji roared with the courage of a lion. Finally, in 1689, he died. A magnificent memorial has now been built at that place, inspiring everyone.

Thus, Sambhaji died a heroic death. And thereafter, the Maratha people reunified. The land that gave birth to many such heroes is ours… Jai Sambhaji Jai Hindu Rashtra.
