Chhaava Real Story: Who was Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj?
Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj aka Shambhuraje was the second Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire, ruling from 1681 to 1689. Sambhaji was the eldest son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha Kingdom. Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj took forward his father's name and battled against the Mughal Empire.
Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was born at Purandar fort to the Maratha Emperor Shivaji, and his first wife, Saibai. Saibai died when Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was only two years old. He was then raised by his paternal grandmother Jijabai.
When Sambhaji was only 9 he was sent to live with Raja Jai Singh I of Amber as a political hostage to ensure compliance of the Treaty of Purandar that Shivaji had signed with the Mughals on 11 June 1665. He and his father Shivaji also attended the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's court at Agra on 12 May 1666. Aurangzeb put both of them under house arrest but they escaped on 22 July 1666.
Ultimately, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was executed by Aurangzeb. Thereafter, his brother Rajaram I succeeded him as the next Chhatrapati and continued the Mughal–Maratha Wars.
