Answers
Answer:
Hiroji Farjand and Madari Mehetar
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.
