Question

Shivaji Maharaj took an aggressive stand against the Mughals. Give reasons.

Answer 1

Shivaji is considered as one of the leader of Marathas.

He manages the slogan for the separate political identity in the south region.

This is the basic reason why shivaji took aggressive against the mughals.

There is also a problem present in the process of the reconciliation.

The Marathas manage the unity.

Whereas rajput cannot use the proper military tactics alongside the invaders.

Shivaji becomes aggressive because of the brutal execution of shambhaji and Aurangzeb policy.

Answer 2

• Shivaji Maharaja retaliated violently against the Mughals for this reason.
• He made an effort to repair the treaty of Purandar devastation in its entirety.
• To recapture the forts and territories given to the Mughals under the Treaty of Purandar.
• For this, he prepared a plan.
• His plan was to invade the Deccan under the hands of the Mughals with a well-equipped army to seize the forts in order to maintain the Mughals' instability.
• Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj decided to sign the pact rather than handing over control of his army to the Mughals as he realised that a battle with the Mughal Empire would only harm his empire and might result in significant casualties for his soldiers.
• By capturing forts, constructing them, and establishing a Maratha navy, Shivaji's military forces widened the Maratha sphere of influence.
• Shivaji developed a capable and forward-thinking civil government with well-organized administrative institutions.
