Description
Shivaji Maharaj, the legendary seventeenth century Maratha warrior who audaciously took on the Mughal empire at the height of its powers, is one of the most compelling figures of early modern India.
This biography charts the story of a self-made military hero who started out as a teenage rebel and ended up crowning himself king of an independent state. The book explores whether Shivaji was a Hindu icon or a secular figure, or something more complex and thought-provoking.
Written by Vaibhav Purandare, this erudite and insightful exploration offers a nuanced understanding of one of India's most fascinating historical figures.
