Debunking All Allegations Of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Being Vassal Or Servant To Mughals

Mega Thread 🧵➝

1) All Thanks To Loyal Mughal Slave Mirza Jai Singh
Because He Is The One Who Wrote The Farman In Treaty Of Purandar.

In That Farman He Calls Shivaji Maharaja As Servant Of Mughals.

I'll Show You Orginal Farman Used In Treaty Of Purandar In This Thread.

2) But Before That We'll Look Into What Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Thinks About Mughals.

Letter Dated 1663
Shivray Mentions That 'In This Difficult Region Of Ours, It's Hard To Even Imagine To Dance (Bring) Your Horse'
This Message Was To Mughal Officer.

3) In Above Letter It's Clear What Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Thinks About Mughals.

He Consider Them As Lower Than Him.

4) Now We'll Look Into What Happens At Treaty Of Purandar.

Aurangzeb's Slave Like Diler Khan & Mirza Jai Singh Besieged At Purandar.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Was At Raigad At That Time.

PS :- Some Rajputs & Muslims Thinks That Shivray Was At Purandar Which Is False.

5) Even After 6 Months Mirza Jai Singh & Diler Only Got Less Than Half Fort.

Marathas Were Still Fighting.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Pressed Negotiation To Jai Singh & Finally He Open Negotiation On 10th June 1665.

6) Mirza Jai Singh Sent Letter To Aurangzib On June 1665.

In This Letter Jai Singh Also Knows That Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Doesn't Respect Mughals.

He Mentioned It Clearly That “His (Shivaji) Contain No Truth”

7) Now We'll Look Into The Real Farman Used In Treaty Of Purandar.

There's Hindi & Marathi Translation Available.

Below Tughrah You Can Read : 'Faithful To Islam, Mirza Raja JaiSingh'

It Also Mentions 23 Forts Which Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Surrendered.

8) After Part 1 Of The Farman Directly At Part 9 Mirza Jai Singh Mentions About Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja.

He Says 'The Firm Oath Taken By Hindus Are Commemorated By Shivaji'

Mirza Jai Singh Himself Consider Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja As Head Of Hindus.

9) In Part 10
Mirza Jai Singh Wrote That 'Forts From Nizam-Ul Mulks Area Should Be Given To Shivaji'
He Further Wrote 'Shivaji Will Be In Imperial Service'

After 1 Line Skipped He Wrote That 'He (Mirza Jai Singh) Has Accepted The Terms (Given By Azeb)'

10) In Part 11
A'zeb Wrote That 'He Has Sent Robe Of Honour To Shivaji' Further : 'I Pardon His (Shivaji) Sins & Ignored His (Shivaji) Mistake'

You Can Read Further Translation Below 👇🏻

11) Last Part And Most Important One

Mirza Jai Singh Wrote To A'zeb That 'Shivaji Should Visit Darbar & Pay Respect'
A'zeb Replied 'Shivaji Should NOT Be Bothered To Pay Respect At Court'

What A Surprise, Isn't It ?

12) Loyal Mughal Slave & Faithful To Islam Mirza Jaisingh Was Jealous Of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja & His Staunch Hindu Faith.

This Farman Is Clear Proof That Jaisingh Was A Fragile Man Who Loves To Play Manipulative Games.

13) Jaisingh Having No Balls Wanted To Press Shivaji To Go To Agra Court.

This Letter Is NOT Shivaji To Aurangzib Instead This Is Letter From Jaisingh To A'zeb.

Jaisingh Creating His Fairly Tails To Put Down Shivaji In Front Of A'zeb

14) I Aslo Want To Address Niccolao Manucci's Account Of Ch. Shivaji Maharaj Entering In Jaisingh's Camp For Treaty.

If Any Pajeet Wants To Show Snippets From Storia Do Mogor Should Read The Following Snippet 👇🏻

15) Moving Forward

Till Now Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Never Addressed Himself Servent Of Mughals

All The Drafting Of Farmas/Letters Has Done By Mirza Jaisingh

Even Mughals Didn't Consider Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja As Their Servant.

16) Anything That Mirza Jaisingh Said About Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Being Slave Should Be Rejected.

17) Treaty Of Purandar Happened In 11th June 1665
Unfortunately According To Treaty, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Had To Help Jaisingh Against Adilshahi Sultanate For Mughal Cause.

August 1665 To March 1666 Shivray Was With Jaisingh.

18) Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Didn't Cause Any Good To Mughals,
Including Mirza Jaisingh And Shivray They've Failed This Campaign.

But During This Campaign There's Two Important Letters Should Be Noted.

19) The Is The Response Of The Petetion From Aurangzib Which Jaisingh Has Sent On Behalf Of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja As We Speak Earlier.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Never Ever Sent Any Letter To Aurangzib At This Time.

20) Another Supposed Letter From Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja To Aurangzib On September 1665

This Time Jadunath Himself States The Fact That It's Not Directly From Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja And It Was Written By Jaisingh's Munshi Udairaj.

In Short Jaisingh Drafted This. 👇🏻

21) After All This Events Like Treaty Of Purandar & Raiding Adilshahi Sultanate.

Aurangzeb Suddenly Ordered Jaisingh To Send Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja To Imperial Court From Nowhere.

22) In His Treaty With JaiSingh, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Had Stipulated That He Would NOT Be Compelled To Accept Mansab & Also That He Would NOT Be Required To Attend The Mughal Imperial Court.

This Is All Because Of Jaisingh That Ch. Shivaji Maharaj Has To Go To The Court.

23) Another Way To Prove That Mirza Jaisingh Is Responsible For This Act Is His Own Letter. 👇🏻

He Is Forcing Aurangzib To Call Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja At Imperial Court.

Jaisingh Is Solely Responsible For Misconduct Of Lacking Balls.

24) Be It Any Situation Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Agreed To Go To Imperial Court.

Maharaj Dispatched For Agra On 5th March 1666 From Raigad.

25) On 5th April 1666 Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Got Response From Aurangzib Which Mirza Jaisingh Has Sent Earlier (See No. 23)

Aurangzeb Himself Luring Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja At This Point.

26) On 29th May 1666 Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Reached Agra

For Further Details You Can Read My This Thread 👇🏻

This Was My Early Thread Debunking The Same Type Of Agenda.

27) In The Court Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Payed Customary Respect 'Mulazamat'

As Mentioned In Letter Of Parkaldas 👇🏻

28) However In Non-Contemporary Sabhasad Bakhar The Event Mentioned As 'Shivaji Raje Offered 3 Salutes To The Emperor, In His Mind He Ment The 1st For Shri Shambu Mahadev 2nd For Shri Bhawani & 3rd For His Father'

Mughalputs Love Crop This Perticular Snippet Till Only Saluting.

29) Another Perticular Snippet Is Circulating Among Historical Illiterates Where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Is Saying That ‘मैं तो पातिसाही बंदा हो’

30) This Is The Actual English Translation Of The Entire Letter.

‘I'm Not I Will Not Be His Servant’

Some Historians Mistranslated It As I'm His Servant.

I'm Using Jadunath Sarkar's Translation Who Actually Himself Found Original Letters In Bikaner Archives.

31) "I am the Imperial State Prisoner (Patshahi *Banda*). Kill me or imprison me."

He is already imprisoned, he is challenging the Qatabullah Sarkar to official arrest him or take action against him, without any transgression from his side.

32) *Banda* Word Was Also Mentioned When Chhatrapati Shahu Was In Confinement Of Aurangzib When He Was Little.

Double Confirmation.

31) After Roaring At Mughal Court Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Never Visited Mughal Court Again.

32) After This Moment Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Got Arrested In Agra.
Fast Forward To The Even Maharaj Tried To Negotiate With Aurangzib.

On 20th May Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Bribed Jafar Khan.

Note :- Shivaji Maharaj Himself Never Apologize To Aurangzib.

Read Snippet👇🏻

33) After That Again On 29th May 1666 Jafar Khan Made Petition For Aurangzib.

This Time Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Tried To Bribe Aurangzib 😜.

34) After That,
Minimal Requests Has Been Made From Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja To Aurangzeb's

The Thread Is Getting Too Long At This Point But I Don't Want To Miss Out Any Important Contemporary Source.

34) At This Point On 16 August 1666 Aurangzib Himself Told To Ram Singh That 'Shivaji's Mind Should Be Diverted In Such Way That He Should Accept The Mansab'

Tables Have Turned At This Point. A'zeb Himself Has Urge To Make Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja As His Mansabdar.

34) But On The Morning Of 18th August 1666 Aurangzib Received Staggering News That Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Had Escaped!

35) Slave Jaisingh Reach His Peak Slavery After Hearing This News When He Wrote Letter Calling Out Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja As Low Caste.

In Reality He Was Shitting His Pants 👇🏻

36) Anyways Moving Forward
News Letter From Mughal Court Dated 4th November 1666 Says That : 'Shivaji Has Reached Raigad',

'The Son Who Was With Him Died' Which Is False News.

On 15th November 1666 'Son Has Born In The House Of Shivā' Which Is False News.

37) On 20th April 1667 Aurangzib Ordered Jumdt-ul-mulk To Free The Vakil Of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja & Write To Shivaji That “If You Give Faithful Bail & Keep Your Own Son As Mansabdar, Your Crimes Will Be Forgiven”

Aurangzeb Himself Made 1st Move.

38) After Death Of Loyal Mughal Slave Mirza Jaisingh, No Mughal Subahdar Wanted To Face Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja.

39) After That Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Wrote Letter To Prince Muazzam.

The Mughaliya Draftman Again Wrote 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Wants To Be Slave Or He's Hereditary Servent'

Which Is Debunked Here 👇🏻

40) We've Seen That Aurangzib Himself Made 1st Move To Ask Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja To Restore Mansab.

Taking Advantage Of This Situation Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Restored Treaty Of Purandar For Chauth & Sardeshmukhi Rights.

41) Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Broke The Treaty On 1669

On 24 January 1670 There's Newspaper From Mughal Court Stating That “Shivaji's Men Looted Varhad & Took 20 Lakh Of Worth Bronze Coins”
