Chhatrapati Rajaram Maharaj His Life and Legacy

Rajaram Maharaj was the second son of Shivaji Maharaj the Great. Suddenly after the death of Sambhaji Maharaj he was forced to be a king but was actually a fugitive on the run. After many close shaves, he found himself safe but cooped up on the hills of Jinji 2000 km away. To begin with he was a king who had no army, no treasury, no training and no experience. And it is in these turbulent times that he took on the mightiest and richest ruler of India i.e. Aurangzeb and bled the Mughal Empire to bankruptcy.With the help of his two generals Santaji Ghorpade and Dhanaji Jadhav and two administrators Ramchandra Nilkanth and Shankaraji Narayan he out-witted, out maneuvered and defeated the Mughal armies for ten years. He died in 1700, but his widow Tararani fought Aurangzeb till he died in 1707.
