During the seventeenth century, the Mughal Empire dominated northern and central India, contending with endless battles against various kingdoms. During this tumultuous era, Shivaji was born with a profound sense of awareness and a fervent desire for independence. Determined to challenge Mughal supremacy, he rose to become Chhatrapati Shivaji, laying the foundations of the Maratha Empire.

This new empire produced a lineage of formidable leaders whose valour continues to inspire. Among them was Baji Rao I, the warrior Peshwa who led his forces to victory in thirty-six battles. Ahilyabai Holkar, the steadfast queen, valiantly defended her realm through severe adversity, never retreating from conflict. Sambhaji, Shivaji's son, remained a staunch supporter of his father, making crucial decisions to maintain their stance.

This book tells the Maratha Empire's ascent to power and its establishment as a formidable force in the region, detailing the heroic deeds and enduring legacy of its rulers.
