About the show

Shivaji Maharaj (1630–1680) carved the Maratha Empire out of the decaying Adil Shahi and Mughal dominions, defying the might of Aurangzeb's Deccan campaigns. This show traces his guerrilla warfare tactics, the ingenious fort architecture of Raigad, Sinhagad, and Pratapgad, and his administrative innovations like the Ashtapradhan council and the revival of Marathi as a court language. Lucas and Luna dissect the battle of Pratapgad against Afzal Khan, the Treaty of Purandar, and Shivaji's daring escape from Agra. They explore the coronation at Raigad, the naval campaigns of the Maratha fleet under Kanhoji Angre's precursors, and the legacy that inspired later Indian freedom movements. What drives a ruler to build a kingdom from hill forts, and how did Shivaji's Hindavi Swarajya philosophy shape regional identity? This show unpacks the man, the myth, and the enduring symbol of resistance. #ShivajiMaharaj #MarathaEmpire #HindaviSwarajya #RaigadFort #PratapgadBattle #AfzalKhan #Aurangzeb #MughalEmpire #DeccanHistory #AdilShahi #Ashtapradhan #MarathiHistory #IndianWarfare #FortArchitecture #GuerrillaTactics #HinduResistance #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
