There’s a fundamental difference between the two: Rajputs pushed the Mughal Empire into disarray. Marathas entered the scene later, not as liberators, but as tax collectors on behalf of Mughals. In fact, Mahadji Scindia officially served as the Wakil of Mughal Emperor. Listen to this video of a Jat...

Do you know how Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s death was avenged? After Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s brutal execution, Aurangzeb’s commander Zulfikar Khan seized Raigad and imprisoned Yesubai (Sambhaji’s wife) and his son. But the fire of vengeance was already lit. Sambhaji’s younger brother, Rajaram Maharaj, rose as the new Chhatrapati. Sambhaji Maharaj was tortured for 40 days before being executed. The Marathas were enraged. All differences vanished. They united with one goal—Aurangzeb’s annihilation. A storm was about to hit the Mughal Empire. At Sangameshwar, Chhatrapati Sambhaji and 200 warriors fought against 10,000 Mughal soldiers led by Muqarram Khan. Among them was Malhoji Ghorpade, who fought to his last breath. His son Santaji Ghorpade vowed vengeance and made Aurangzeb’s life a living hell. Santaji, with Dhanaji Jadhav, led a sudden attack at Tulapur, where Aurangzeb had executed Sambhaji. Aurangzeb, camping with lakhs of soldiers, was shocked when only 2,000 Marathas stormed his camp like lions. The Marathas butchered the Mughal army mercilessly. Mughal historian Kafi Khan wrote, “After Tulapur, the Mughals trembled at Santaji’s name. Soldiers were either killed or captured. His very name sent Mughal troops into chaos.” Panic spread in Aurangzeb’s camp. Mughal soldiers screamed, “Huzoor, the Marathas are here!” While Mughals scrambled to protect Aurangzeb, the Marathas were cutting them down. Aurangzeb fled to save his life, but his empire’s prestige was shattered forever. The Marathas seized two golden finials from Aurangzeb’s royal tent and returned to Sinhagad in victory. The next morning, Aurangzeb saw thousands of dead Mughal soldiers and muttered, “O Allah! These Marathas never tire, never surrender. What if we perish trying to destroy them?” Two days later, Santaji attacked Raigad Fort. Mughal commander Zulfikar Khan, who had imprisoned Yesubai, was encircled. The Marathas stormed the fort, massacred the Mughal troops, and seized their treasures, horses, and elephants, taking them to Panhala. Wherever the Marathas saw Mughals, they slashed through them like grass. Now it was Muqarram Khan’s turn—the man who had betrayed and captured Sambhaji Maharaj. Aurangzeb had rewarded him with 50,000 rupees, making him the governor of Kolhapur and Konkan. The Marathas swore Muqarram Khan would not live. In December 1689, Santaji Ghorpade surrounded Muqarram Khan’s massive army and began a brutal slaughter. Santaji personally chased him down, hacked him apart, and left him dying in the jungle. With Muqarram Khan’s death, the Marathas avenged the brutal execution of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. In 1691, Chhatrapati Rajaram Maharaj declared Santaji as the Commander of the Maratha Empire. Santaji wasted no time. With 15,000–20,000 Maratha warriors, he stormed Mughal territories, raising the saffron flag over Karnataka and beyond. Aurangzeb, now a coward hiding in the Sahyadris, ran for 27 years like a dog. For 27 years, the Marathas kept him on the run. Broken by humiliation and continuous defeat, the coward Aurangzeb finally died a miserable death in Maharashtra—the land he failed to conquer. This is the fate of tyrants. And today, some people glorify this defeated coward? Remember, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj did not die in vain. The Marathas shattered the Mughals, and Hindavi Swarajya stood unshaken. This is our history. Never forget it. Sourced from FB & YT

From Forts to Classrooms Maratha Legacy Lives On! Laid the foundation stone of the ‘Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Special Center for Security and Strategic Studies’ and inaugurated the ‘Kusumagraj Special Center for Marathi Language, Literature and Culture’ at JNU, today. The commemorative stone plaques of both centers were also unveiled. There was a deep sense of fulfilment in seeing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy of vision and strategic brilliance receive a space for academic study in the heart of the nation’s capital. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's forts were never mere stone structures. They were expressions of foresight, courage, and unmatched planning. Their recent recognition by UNESCO as the 'Maratha Military Landscape of India; stands as a global tribute to that legacy. Built across the Sahyadris, the coasts, and the plateaus, these forts still stand strong centuries later, each telling a story of civilisational strength and tactical mastery. In a time when many bowed before foreign powers, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, blessed by Rajmata Jijau, took the oath of Swarajya. The battles Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj led were never for personal rule, but for self-rule of the people. That resolve was carried forward with unflinching courage by Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, who defended Swarajya against relentless aggression. The Marathas, as a united force, never fought for territory alone. They fought for Bharat as a whole to safeguard its civilisation, culture, and honour. Soon, a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj will grace the JNU campus. It will stand not just as an artwork, but as a quiet teacher. A presence that will remind generations of students about the strength that comes from clarity of purpose, discipline, and nation-first thinking. Equally meaningful was the inauguration of the Kusumagraj Special Center for Marathi Language, Literature and Culture. Marathi, now recognised as a Classical Language, has always carried the richness of saints, thinkers, poets, and playwrights. From the timeless wisdom of Sant Dnyaneshwar to the stirring verses of Kusumagraj, this language has shaped the mind and soul of Maharashtra. This recognition as a Classical Language came after strong scholarly backing and a heartfelt appeal, which was graciously accepted by Hon PM Narendra Modi Ji, a gesture that reflects his deep respect for India’s linguistic heritage. Language carries memory, emotion, and knowledge. It must be spoken with respect and preserved with openness. Whether it is Marathi, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi or Sanskrit, every Bharatiya language is a pillar of India’s cultural strength. To honour one’s mother tongue is to honour the roots of the nation. The Maratha worldview has always been expansive. Whether on the battlefield or in ideas, the goal was never limited to a region, but always about the larger good of Bharat. To see that legacy reflected today in these two academic centres is more than a tribute to history. It is a step towards shaping a future rooted in knowledge, courage, and cultural confidence. Minister Uday Samant, MP Anil Bonde, MP Dr Ajeet Ghopchade, MP Dhananjay Mahadik, JNU Vice-Chancellor Prof Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit, Chhatrapati Babaji Raje Bhosle, Thanjavur and other dignitaries were present.
