Shahaji Bhonsale (Marathi pronunciation: [ʃəˈɦaːdʑiː ˈbʱos(ə)le]; 18 March 1594 – 23 January 1664) was a 17th century Indian military leader who served the Ahmadnagar Sultanate, the Bijapur Sultanate, and the Mughal Empire at various points in his career.
Even when Shahaji was in northern Deccan, Shivaji and his mother Jijabai rarely saw him, because of Shahaji's military preoccupations. [2] After Shahaji was deputed in the south, the father and son did not see each other for several years. [28] Shahaji became Bijapur's governor of Bangalore in the south, and married another woman - Tukabai. [23]
Shahaji was a rebel from brief Mughal service. Shahaji's campaigns against the Mughals, supported by the Bijapur government, were generally unsuccessful. He was constantly pursued by the Mughal army, and Shivaji and his mother Jijabai had to move from fort to fort. [37] Young Shivaji (right) meets his father Shahaji. (left)
The Bhonsle dynasty (or Bhonsale, Bhosale, Bhosle) [3] is an Indian Marathi royal house of the Bhonsle clan. The Bhonsles claimed descent from the Rajput Sisodia dynasty, but were likely Kunbi Marathas. [4] They served as the Chhatrapatis or kings of the Maratha Confederacy from 1674 to 1818, where they gained dominance of the Indian subcontinent.
Jijabai Shahaji Bhonsale (née Jadhav; 12 January 1598 – 17 June 1674 [2]), referred to as Rajmata Jijabai, was the mother of Shivaji, founder of the Maratha Kingdom. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] She was a daughter of Lakhujirao Jadhav of Sindkhed Raja .
By 1670s, Shivaji had acquired extensive territory and wealth from his campaigns. [5] [11] But, lacking a formal crown, he had no operational legitimacy to rule his de facto domain and technically, remained subject to his Mughal (or Deccan Sultanate) overlords; in the hierarchy of power, Shivaji's position remained similar to fellow Maratha chieftains.
Shahu I (Shivaji Sambhaji Raje Bhonsale; Marathi pronunciation:; 18 May 1682 – 15 December 1749) was the fifth Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire founded by his grandfather, Shivaji I.
Soyarabai was the daughter of Sambhaji Mohite, whose sister Tukabai was the second wife of Shahaji. The precise date of Soyarabai's marriage to Shivaji is unclear, but various sources give the years as 1642, 1650 and 1660. [1] [2] In all probability, Soyarabai was married before 1650. [3]
