Question

What was the reason behind the conflict between Shivaji and the Mughal?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The historical Shivaji lived in a Persianate world in which Muslims were rulers and, as US academic James Laine tells us, “commanded a certain obedience and respect”. Shivaji’s mother Jijabai’s family were allies of the Mughals. His father Bijapur general Shahaji Bhosale also served the Mughals at one point. In 1648, when Shahaji was arrested by the Adil Shahi state for insubordination and imprisoned, his son turned to Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. For this, Shivaji even offered to accept Mughal service though that did not happen as two Muslim noblemen from Bijapur interceded on Shahaji’s behalf and got him freed.
