objective of sambaji maharaj
Answers
Explanation:
Chatrapati Sambhaji was a very capable leader. While Chatrapati Sambhaji's army was at maximum 60,000 and almost 10 times more was Aurangzeb's army. Still Chatrapati Sambhaji fought with moguls bravely and helped other two sultanates Kutubshaha of Goalkonda and Adilshaha of Vijapur. Till Sambhaji raje died moguls could hardly konquror any of his 350 forts even after wasting so much of money and army. But sambhaji raje was betrayed by many of his maratha/bramhin families like Shirke, Nimbalkar, Mahadik, deshpande,etc while common public was with Sambhaji Raje. Many of the Smbhaji raje's generals were from very poor famlies who were raied from ground zero in army like Mhaloji ghorpade, santaji ghorpade, Dhanji Jadhav, Hambirrao mohite, etc. One of the golden pages of his life was when he attacked Siddi's of Janjira, the fort which remained unkonqurred till the end.He made the plan to Konquror Janjira along with one of his loyal general called KondajiBaba Farzand. Kondajibaba fooled the Siddi's and shod them he has betrayed Sambhji raje and ready to join hand with Siddi. Since Siddi's were very afraid of Smabhaji raje, they treated kondajibaba as if one of them. Kondajibaba was suppose to revolt from inside the janjira and Sambhaji raje was to attack from outside. But this ambitious plan failed because of one mistress who was with kondajibaba. With that all the 80 loyal and brave maratha armymen wer captured and brutelly killed by siddis. after that Sambhaji raje tried to built the bridge between Janjira and the coast. He himself lead the attack and at the end Siddi's had given up but their fate was in their favor. When siddi's were reached to consensus for surrender , moguls invaded in the land marathas so he has to return from konkan to the ghat (top of sahyadri lands) so could not give the finishing touch. Similary he attacked on the Portugiz of Goa who always troubled the hindu citizens and tried to convert them to christen. That time viceroy of goa was Alver the Gont. He was armed with best of the artillary and army. But as sambhaji raje found it was not possible to defeat Portugiz by attacking Panjim fort, he tried to pull them out of Panjim by strategic planning and defeated them. After this battle portugiz were so frightened that they stopped helping moghuls. Once again luck was not in favor of Sambhaji raje, moghul prince Ajjam was climbing down the ghats of sahyadri so Sambahi raje has to return to raigad else there was a danger that he will be crushed with Portugiz and moghuls on eiether side.
