Maratha Kingdom

  • Shivaji's grandson Shahu was imprisoned by Aurangreb from 1689 AD. After Aurangzeb's death, Shahu was released in 1707 but a civil war broke out between Shahu and aunt Tarabai (Kolhapur). After the death of her husband Rajaram, Tarabai had been running an anti-Mughal struggle in the name of her son Shivaji II from 1700 AD.
