There has been no other character in Maratha history that has been so enigmatic and controversial as Sambhajiraje Bhosale. Sambhaji or Shambhu raje as he was fondly called , was the eldest son of the legendary Shivaji Maharaj. He was born on 14th May 1647 at Fort Purander. Curiously Sambhajiraje has as many loyalists as he has his share of critics. Some dismiss him as hedonistic , reckless , and cruel , whereas some revere him as the bravest Maratha king that ever lived. Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in between these two conflicting versions. Sambhajis reign was short and very tumultuous to say the least. His life was abrupt and death so very tragic. But Sambhaji, with his death achieved much more than what he did during his lifetime. He is still deified as the true hindu martyr, that preferred death, to the ignoble life of subservience.
