Podcasts about Shivaji

Mrutyuche aavhaan peluni, toch varasa aamhaala dila lShivrayaancha Shambhu chaava, Hindu mhanuni amar jahala ll(Coming from the same legacy that confronted death,Shivaji's son Shambhu, became immortal as a Hindu)Quite often, growing up in the shadow of a banyan tree can be quite inhibiting, however much you grow, and you shall always look small against the banyan. In a sense that was what happened to Sambhaji, the son of Sivaji. Growing up in the shadow of a powerful  father, who was a giant of a personality, meant Sambhaji, for all his achievements would never really match up to Sivaji.

What is Hinduism? For centuries, that question was particularly thorny, both for local Indians and for colonial outsiders. People inside and outside the country tried to define what Hinduism was. Missionaries grappled with Hindu practices, finding both similarities and dangerous differences with their own Christian faith. The East India Company adopted several Hindu rituals to keep the peace, much to the chagrin of officials back in London. And, increasingly, Indians began to define what Hinduism meant as part of a broader political awakening. Manu Pillai tells that story in his latest book Gods, Guns and Missionaries: The Making of the Modern Hindu Identity (Allen Lane: 2024) Manu Pillai is the author of the critically acclaimed The Ivory Throne: Chronicles of the House of Travancore (HarperCollins: 2016), Rebels Sultans: The Deccan from Khilji to Shivaji (Juggernaut: 2018), The Courtesan, the Mahatma, and the Italian Brahmin: Tales from Indian History (Context: 2019) and False Allies: India's Maharajahs in the Age of Ravi Varma (Juggernaut: 2021). Former chief of staff to Shashi Tharoor MP, Pillai is also a winner of the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar (2017) and holds a PhD in history from King's College London. His essays and writings on history have appeared in various national and international publications. Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

The Chushul councillor has complained that the statue of Shivaji was erected without any local consultations, questioning its relevance to the region. He just has to read the 2003 judgment.  

He's a polymath who cares deeply about the world, tries to understand it, and straddles many fields. He's played a key role over the last few decades in India's journey towards development.

तानाजीने महाराष्ट्रात शिवाजी महाराजांच्या स्वराज्य स्थापनेपासूनच प्रत्येक महत्त्वाच्या घडामोडीत आपला हक्काचा सहभाग नोंदविला आहे. त्यांचे बालपण हे सातारा जिल्ह्यातील गुंडवली गावात गेले. वडिलांच्या मृत्यूनंतर ते उंबरट म्हणजेच त्याचा शेलारमामा यांच्या गावी आले. सिंहगड स्वराज्यात आणण्याचा विडा त्याने उचलला अष्टमीच्या काळोखात, तानाजी मोजक्या मावळ्यांसह गड घेण्यास तानाजी, उदयभान हे दोनच वीर समोरासमोर आले. या दोन योद्धामध्ये घनघोर युद्ध झाले. उदयभानूच्या एका वाराने तानाजी धारातीर्थी पडले. भाऊ सूर्याजी व शेलार मामा यांनी चवताळून उदय भाण्याच्या फौजेचा धुव्वा उडवला. उदय भांडणाचा खात्मा करून गडावर भगवा निशान चढवून गड स्वराज्यात घेतला. 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.

The Maratha Empire_ How Shivaji Maharaj Built a Legacy of Hindutva

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is perhaps the greatest Hindu warrior and empire builder of the 2nd millennium of the common era. It is for this reason that constant attempts to belittle his Hinduness have been made. Avinash Dharmadhikari joins Sanjay Dixit to look at these attempts to secularise his legacy and to rebut them.

Manu S Pillai is the author of the critically acclaimed The Ivory Throne: Chronicles of the House of Travancore (2015) and Rebel Sultans: The Deccan from Khilji to Shivaji (2018). Formerly chief of staff to Shashi Tharoor MP, he is also a winner of the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar (2017). His other essays and writings have appeared in Mint Lounge, The Hindu, Hindustan Times, Open Magazine, The New Statesman, and other publications. The Courtesan, the Mahatma & the Italian Brahmin is Manu's third book, and a collection of essays on Indian history. In this Network Capital podcast, Manu reflects on his journey as a writer, key inflection points in his career and the art of making your passion your profession. Riddled with historical anecdotes and colorful stories, this podcast is essential for anyone interested in history, public policy and writing.

Satyen Velankar is an expert on Maratha history as sourced from original documents in Persian and other languages. Here he talks to Sanjay Dixit about Shivaji Maharaj's concept of Hindutva and his challenge to Aurangzeb on that account.

Kedar Phalke is a historian of medieval India who has written several books on the Maratha Empire.

It can be easy to think of the recent history of India—especially for those who aren't from there—as a straight line, from the Mughal Empire, through the British Empire, to independent India. That, of course, is hugely simplistic, missing the mess of competing polities, interests, and people that made up Indian history over the last few centuries. Manu Pillai's False Allies: India's Maharajahs in the Age of Ravi Varma (Juggernaut, 2021), looks at a few of these political actors: the Maharajas of India, who led the “princely states”. Not quite sovereign entities, not quite directly-ruled colonies. Pillai portrays the stories of a few of these princes and princesses through the life of famed Indian artist Ravi Varma as he travels around India in the latter half of the nineteenth century. In this interview, Manu and I talk about the princely states, the Maharajas, and why Manu chose Ravi Varma to tell the stories of the Indian princes. Manu S Pillai is the author of the award-winning The Ivory Throne: Chronicles of the House of Travancore (HarperCollins India: 2015), Rebel Sultans: The Deccan from Khilji to Shivaji (Juggernaut: 2018), and The Courtesan, the Mahatma & the Italian Brahmin: Tales from Indian History (Context: 2019).
