Answer 1

Answer:

Hiroji Farjand and Madari Mehetar​

Answer 2

Explanation:

With Shivaji Maharaj only few eminent soldiers/sevak (personal assistant) were remained in Agra. Their Names are as follows

• Hiroji farjand (he slept in place of Shivaji Maharaj when he was escaping in sweet basket/boxes.)
• Madari Mehtar personal assistant.
• Sambhaji raje.

Madari Mehtar

The most notable was Madari Mehtar who sacrificed his life while helping Shivaji escape from Aurangzeb's captivity in Agra. Apparently some 20% to 30% of his commanders were Muslims. It was the same with the Muslim rulers – about 20% of their loyal commanders were chaste Hindus.

Who was hiroji farzand?

Shivaji's 'other' half-brother

When Shivaji escaped from Agra, a man named Hiroji Farzand had taken his place as his double. This is a well-known fact. What is less well known is that Hiroji was possibly Shivaji's half-brother, born to one of Shahaji's unwedded women.
