pWotD Episode 2849: Sambhaji Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 332,718 views on Tuesday, 18 February 2025 our article of the day is Sambhaji.Sambhaji (Sambhajiraje Shivajiraje Bhonsle, Marathi pronunciation: [saːmˈbʱaːdʑiː ˈbʱos(ə)le]; c.14 May 1657 – 11 March 1689), also known as Shambhuraje, was the second Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire, ruling from 1681 to 1689. He was the eldest son of Shivaji, the founder of the Maratha kingdom. He was confined by his father at Panhala Fort, reportedly for his addiction to sensual pleasures or violating a Brahmin woman. He later defected to the Mughal Empire and served under Diler Khan in the Battle of Bhupalgarh against Shivaji. He ascended the throne following his father's death, with his rule being largely shaped by the ongoing wars between the Marathas and the Mughal Empire, as well as other neighbouring powers such as the Siddi of Janjira, the Wadiyars of Mysore and the Portuguese Empire in Goa. Early on, Marathas under Sambhaji attacked and disrupted supply lines and raided into the Mughal territory, although they were unsuccessful in taking over main forts. In 1683, he invaded Portuguese Goa, during which Maratha soldiers raped Christian women and later sold captured men and women to Arabs and the Dutch. In the same year, Sambhaji executed 24 members of influential families including top government ministers after discovering a plot to poison him.: 106 By 1685, Mughals had gradually pushed back Sambhaji's forces by taking over their strongholds. Desertions became common by the end of his reign, and he had alienated Maratha deshmukhs by burning villages to deny supplies to the Portuguese. In 1688, he was captured by Mughal forces and executed. His brother Rajaram I succeeded him as Chhatrapati and continued the Mughal–Maratha Wars.: 80, 91–95 This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:51 UTC on Wednesday, 19 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Sambhaji on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Patrick.

On November 14th every year, I mourn my old friend Varsha Bhosle on her birth anniversary. This year she would have turned 69. Unfortunately she passed away in 2012, and she had ceased being her fiery public self a few years before that when she went into self-imposed exile from her column-writing.When she and I used to write together on rediff.com we used to dream of an India that would “be somebody” (credit Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront). Today India is beginning to matter, “not in full measure” (there, obligatory nod to Nehru, because Varsha shared a birthday with him), but there are “green shoots”.In Malayalam, we say vyazhavattom, or a revolution of Jupiter (which is twelve years), to denote a significant period of time in which epochal things may well have taken place. What has happened in the dozen years since Varsha left us? Let me take a general inventory.Despite misgivings about the lack of movement on serious Hindu issues (such as the freeing of temples from the grip of bureaucrats and hostile politicians) it must be granted that Narendra Modi's 10+ years have substantiated what Varsha and I honestly thought: that the only thing missing in India is leadership. (I said that in my homage to her in 2012.) Maybe, just maybe, Modi is India's Lee Kwan Yew.India is finally moving away from its dirigiste Nehruvian stupor, which was exacerbated, and extolled, by the Anglo-Mughalai hangers-on of Lutyens and Khan Market and JNU, and which resulted in an increasingly depressing relative decline compared to the rest of Asia and the rest of the world. That India is beginning to matter, especially economically, and consequently in the military and diplomatic domains, should be seen as the result of bhageeratha prayatnam, especially since the Swamp in India (not the Military Industrial Complex per se but babudom) is so powerful. Not to mention the Media, and the Judiciary.But there is so much more to be done. And Varsha would have pointed this out with her signature directness and humor: she could get away with that because she was She Who Must Be Obeyed, and imperious. She used to say things that I wouldn't dare say: for instance, she called Antonia Maino “The Shroud of Turin”.Varsha would have had a field day with the silly viswaguru meme, for instance. For, it is much better to learn from others, rather than have everybody mine our traditional knowledge systems and then go and patent them and sell the result back to us (eg. basmati, turmeric, yoga). India should be vishwa-vidyarthi. Learn, and, if possible, steal from everyone. (Ask China how to).Similarly, sabka sath sabka vikas sounds like a good slogan, but let me give you Exhibit A: Lebanon. I will not elaborate, but you can go look it up for yourself.On the other hand, as a warlike Maratha, she would have been happy to see an assertive India, one that upholds its national interests and does not bend to threats or blandishments (Exhibit B: Dalip Singh of the US trying to bully India into a sanctions regime against Russia re Ukraine).I am not quite sure what she'd have made of the Covid fuss, but I'm pretty certain she'd have gone hammer and tongs against the imperialism of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, and the propagandists for the same (Exhibit C: I guess I can't name names, but there's a famous and prize-winning doctor who was on every TV channel at the time deriding Indian vaccines).I write this on 18th November, another painful anniversary, that of 13 Kumaon's last stand, and here too India has made progress, standing up to China in Galwan, going eyeball-to-eyeball on the Indo-Tibetan frontier. But India has made only very slow progress in catching up on manufacturing, and for the wrong reasons (Exhibit D: a famous Indian-American economist).Yet, there is good news. Indians as a whole are more optimistic about their country's future. This may be because the economic center of gravity is shifting towards us, and because it appears the Anglosphere, China, Europe, and Wokeness are all declining at the same time, and India may well benefit from being the swing state between the West and China, both hegemons.I wonder what Varsha would have had to say about this bitter-sweet stage in India's trajectory. Alas, I can only conjecture.Varsha left us at a point when, as in the Malayalam saying, swaram nallappozhe pattu nirthuka, that is, as a singer you should stop singing when your voice is still good. People will ask you why you stopped singing, not why you haven't stopped singing. She lives on in our collective memory, fierce, powerful, a compelling voice. I miss her. May she live on, forever young.800 words, Nov 18, 2024, posted 7 Jan, 2025 This is a public episode.

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.It's the 23rd of February and here are the top stories of the week.The farmers' protest that resumed on Wednesday, was suspended for two days after a protester, 21-years-old Subhkaran Singh of Bathinda district, died due to a head injury. In the view of this, farmer leaders demanded registration of a murder case against those responsible for the death. Several farmers were also injured as the Haryana Police dropped tear gas shells at the Shambhu and Khanauri border. The leaders will review the situation and announce the next course of agitation this evening.Sandeshkhali has been at the centre of a political firestorm ever since protests broke out in the area earlier this month. On Monday, a journalist was arrested for allegedly outraging the modesty of a woman and trespassing into the complainant's house and was later granted bail by the Calcutta High Court. The police also booked a talk show host of a Bengali news channel for promoting enmity and "conducting public mischief". Moreover, Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari and Brinda Karat of the CPI(M) were stopped by the police from visiting Sandeshkhali on Tuesday. West Bengal DGP Rajeev Kumar visited the violence-hit area for the first time on Thursday and said the police will listen to the complaints of every individual and strict action will be taken against those found guilty.The Maharashtra Assembly on Tuesday unanimously passed a Bill granting 10 per cent reservation in education and jobs to the Maratha community. The principle of creamy layer will be applicable and reservation under this Act will be available only to those in the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes who are not in the creamy layer category. CM Eknath Shinde described the Bill as historic and bold and said it would survive the test of law.The Supreme Court on Tuesday quashed and set aside the result of mayoral polls for the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation. The court perused the ballot papers and said that the eight ballots on which the presiding officer had made a marking, and were later counted as invalid, were duly cast in favour of Kuldeep Kumar. A three-judge bench presided by Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud thus ruled in favour of the AAP-Congress coalition candidate.Controversy erupted on Wednesday over Congress workers allegedly roughing up a broadcast journalist at Raebareli on Tuesday and the manner in which Rahul Gandhi quizzed him. The TV channel released a video where Rahul is seen asking the TV journalist, his name, and also that of the owner of the channel. The Editors Guild of India on Thursday voiced concern over this and urged all political parties and leaders to exercise caution, particularly during election season when tempers can run high, and ensure that no individual is put in harm's way.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.

Taanaji Malusare is most popularly remembered for the Battle of Sinhagad in 1670 where he fought against Mughal fort keeper Udaybhan Rathore, a formidable Rajput warrior, until his last breath, which paved the way for a Maratha victory.Subedar Taanaji Malusare was a superior general and a man of iron will in the army of Chhatrapati Shivaji and also one of his dearest friends. The Maratha's impossible victory did not result in a celebration. Shivaji was deeply saddened by the loss of his beloved commander and childhood friend, and he renamed the fort — Singhagad (Lion Fort).
१६४८ दरम्यान हिंदवी स्वराज्याची पहिली लढाई पुरंदर परिसरात झाली. या लढाईचे नेतृत्व सासवड नगरीचे संस्थापक तिर्थस्वरूप हरजीराजे जगताप यांचे वंशज सासवड- सूपा परगण्याचे सरनोबत महापराक्रमी सरदार श्रीमंत गोदाजीराजे जगताप यांच्याकडे होते. छत्रपती शिवाजीराजे पुरंदर किल्यावर असताना मोगल सरदार फत्तेखानच्या नेतृत्वाखाली बलदंड सरदार मुसेखान पुरंदरावर मोठ्या फौजेनिशी चालून आला. या घनघोर लढाईत सरदार बाजीकाका पासलकर सरदार सुभानराव शिळीमकर, पलजी गोते धारातीर्थी पडले. हे पाहून सरदार गोदाजीराजे जगताप रागाने लालबुंद होऊन थेट मुसेखानावर चालून गेले गोदाजी जगताप यांनी मुसेखानावर तलवारीने जोरदार प्रहार करून खांद्यापासून कमरेपर्यंत उभा फेकली केली ..आणि पहिल्या लढाईच्या विजयाचे मानकरी ठरले.गोदाजी जगताप त्यांचे नाव! पुरंदर युद्धात, फतेहखानाचा प्रमुख सरदार मोसेखानाला गोदाजींनी संपवले होते आणि स्वराज्यावर आलेल्या पहिल्याच आक्रमणात चमकदार कामगिरी केली होती.पुढेही कोल्हापूरजवळ झालेल्या, रनदुल्लाखान विरुद्धच्या लढाईत गोदाजींनी स्वराज्यसेनेच्या एका तुकडीचे नेतृत्व केले होते. त्यानंतर छत्रपती राजाराम महाराजांना रायगड सोडून जिंजीला जाताना मुघलांच्या कचाट्यातून वाचवण्याची मोठी कामगिरी गोदाजींनी पार पाडली होती. अशाप्रकारे स्वराज्याच्या तीन-तीन छत्रपतींसाठी रणांगणे गाजवणाऱ्या वीरांमधील एक होते गोदाजी जगताप!For centuries, the tradition of undertaking a pilgrimage to Pandharpur on foot, known as 'Vari', has been upheld. The Jagtap family of Saswad has played a crucial role in ensuring the safety of this pilgrimage route that passes through Saswad. Among the members of this family, Godaji Jagtap stood out as a young warrior who joined the Swarajya movement. He displayed remarkable valor in the Purandar war, where he killed MoseKhan, and in the first battle of Swarajya. He led a contingent of the Swarajya Army in a fierce battle against Randulla near Kolhapur. He also saved Chhatrapati Rajaram Maharaj from the clutches of the Mughals as he was escaping from Raigad. Godaji Jagtap was one of the esteemed heroes who fought for the three Chhatrapatis of Swarajya.

Histories of art in India never fail to mention the greatest hits: Mughal miniatures, Chola bronzes, the ruins of Hampi. Yet most artworks—not just in India but around the world—are not celebrated masterpieces like these; rather, many are blends and montages, mixtures of materials and methods, styles that can't be easily classified; made by artists who are anonymous or not widely known. Where's the history of these arts? A new monograph by Holly Shaffer, Assistant Professor of Art and Architecture at Brown University, shines a light on this theme in colonial India: it's called Grafted Arts: Art Making and Taking in the Struggle for Western India; 1760-1910 (Yale University Press 2022) This remarkable book looks at Maratha military rulers and British East India Company officials who used the arts to engage in diplomacy, wage war, compete for prestige, and generate devotion. Shaffer uses the idea of “graft” in the sense of grafting one plant to another, to produce something new; but also in the sense of cheating or corruption. She highlights the remarkable people and relationships that make up the grafted arts—unknown artists making works for hire, rulers using art for propaganda and prestige, patrons supporting and plundering artworks; officials making a profit through collecting—not to mention an unexpected cameo from William Blake! So we invite you to enter into a visual frame of mind and listen to this conversation.
In 1818, the East India Company defeated the Maratha confederacy, acquiring vast domains in central and western India. Through coercion if not outright violence, the Company transformed many aspects of India's social, economic, and cultural landscape. This book charts one such shifting landscape-Marathi language literary culture-in order to expand the field of world and comparative literature. Kedar A. Kulkarni describes the way Marathi literary culture, entrenched in performative modes of production and reception, especially balladry and epic storytelling, saw the germination of a robust, script-centric dramatic culture, owing to colonial networks of literary exchange and the newfound wide availability of print technology. However, the process was far from a simple mutation of genre. He demonstrates the upheaval that literary culture underwent as a new class of literati emerged: anthologists, critics, theatre makers, publishers, translators, among many others. And, these people also participated in a global conversation that left its mark on theory in the twentieth century. Ultimately, World Literature and the Question of Genre in Colonial India: Poetry, Drama, and Print Culture 1790-1890 (Bloomsbury, 2022) situates Marathi literature within contemporary world literature studies and critiques “eurochronology”- the perceived backwardness of colonial and postcolonial locales when compared with literatures produced in Euro-American metropoles. Reading through archives and ephemera, it demonstrates that literary cultures in colonized locales converged with and participated fully in key defining moments of world literature, but also diverged from them to create, simultaneously, a unique literary modernity. Dr. Kedar A. Kulkarni teaches at FLAME University, Pune. Gargi Binju is a researcher at the University of Tübingen. Learn more about your ad choices.

SYNOPSIS:We all know the story. From being simply a group of traders in mid-18th century, by the end of it the East India Company goes on to take control over all of India and its vast population. They achieve this despite being very few in numbers. By getting Indians to fight against Indians. But why did these Indians comply? Not just the soldiers but why did so many Maharajas and Nawabs choose to side with the British? Why did the Indian businesses and tradesmen cooperate? Why did for instance the chivalrous Rajputs instead of fighting the invaders roll out the red carpet?These questions have long baffled us. Until recently when we came across book the ‘The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company!

One of the biggest issues that has always been a point of contention in American politics is immigration. Immigration, that's right, immigration. Recently it has become a point of rage once more with two governor's being accused of human trafficking after both orchestrated acts of political drama. Those scenes of the political theatrics were more than just acts of protest, they were seen by many as acts of deception that equated to criminality. It is something that has left us as a nation questioning what a nation of immigrants should do about immigrants and whether have we gone too far in our visceral response to fear of the “other”.
