The great Sambhaji Maharaja was the ruler who chose death over conversion.🔱
He was the eldest son of chattrapati Shivaji Maharaja. He knew more than 13 languages till the time he was 15. He wrote Sanskrit book "Budh Bhushanam" at the age of 15.
The Mughals were the staunchest enemies of the Marathas during Sambhaji’s reign. One of the first major actions taken by Sambhaji against the Mughals, was when his forces attacked Burhanpur, a wealthy Mughal city in Madhya Pradesh.

The Marathas under Sambhaji also came into conflict with the Abyssinian Siddi rulers who wished to acquire control over the Konkan coast. Sambhaji fought them, restricting their presence to the island of Janjira, located in the present-day Raigad district of Maharashtra.
Sambhaji also led a campaign on the Portuguese colony of Goa in late 1683.The Portuguese colonists were thoroughly weakened by the Maratha raid, & sought help from the Mughals. Sambhaji was forced to retreat from Goa in January 1684, with the arrival of the Mughal army and navy.
In the autumn of 1687, the Mughal & Maratha faced each other in the dense forests near Wai and Mahabaleshwar in Deccan. The Battle of Wai, as it came to be called, was won by the Marathas, but during its course, the dynasty lost out its most significant leaders -Sambhaji Maharaj.
