2. His claim basically insinuates that the daughters of Chhatrapati Sambhaji & Rajaram were married off voluntarily by them to Muslims.
3. First things first, all the daughters in question here were illegitimate daughters (👇) , *captured by Aurangzeb*.
Nevertheless, we proceed further to debunk the lies. Read on.
(Marathi translation of Jadunath Sarkar's English translation of Akhbarat)
4. Furthermore, @KshatriyaItihas mentions '7,000 rupees of dowry was given'.
But, by whom exactly? :- Maasir-i-Alamgiri says Aurangzeb paid the dowry.
And When? :- Between Dec 1703 - Dec 1704. Mark the years.
5. One would ask why did Aurangzeb pay the dowry?
The answer :- Both, Chhatrapati Rajaram & Sambhaji had died long before these marriages of 1704!
Chhatrapati Sambhaji: Mar 11, 1689 (15 years before)
Chhatrapati Rajaram: Mar 2, 1700 (4 years before)
6. Jadunath Sarkar omitted this crucial information of 'illegitimate daughters' in his book on Aurangzib, thereby providing loophole / credible ammunition to anti-Maratha/i interest groups.
7. This should put to rest these Goebbelsian lies of "Chhatrapati Sambhaji & Rajaram got their daughters married to Mughals".
Let's focus on the glorious parts of Indian history together,rather than throwing dirt on others based on biased reading of history.
1. #Thread on the Heroic Resistance & Reconquista of the Deccan kingdoms vs the Delhi Sultanate (1294 - 1336 CE)
It was out of this struggle that the mighty Vijayanagara Empire was born.
2. 1294: Delhi Sultanate's first incursion south of Vindhyas, vs. Yadava kingdom of Ramchandra Yadava. Delhi gained some territory & wealth after peace talks.
1303: Sultanate's Gujarat invasion. Gujarat king Karna Vaghela sought refuge at Ramchandra Yadava's court
3. 1307: Sultanate's Yadava invasion. Yadava kingdom vassalised. But next year, Ramchandra Yadava died & his successor, Shankardev Yadava stopped the tribute to Delhi.
Delhi's invasions of Kakatiya (Warangal), Hoysala (Halebidu) & Pandya (Malabar) kingdoms followed till 1310.
2. Kabul is a natural part of ancient Indian history. In the Vedas, Kubha and Karumu are mentioned, alongwith the Sapta-Sindhu of Vedic civilisation.
Kubha = River Kabul
Karumu = River Kurram
3. Kabul was ruled by Turk Shahi dynasty. They were followers of Buddhism. There is legendary story of the origin of this dynasty, and its founder Barha Takin by Al-Biruni.
(1) #Thread on lineage-connection of Rajmata Jijabai (Mother of Chhatrapati Shivaji), & the Yadavas of Deogiri
Yadavas of Deogiri were the last Hindu rulers of the Deccan parts between Narmada & Tungabhadra, before Shivaji Maharaj. Their independent rule ended in 1300s.
(2) The Sevuna Yadavas are direct descendants of Bhagwan Shri Krishna, & carried titles like Dwarkapuravaradhiswara, YadavNrupati, Prithvi Vallabha , Sri Vallabha, etc.
(3) 1309: Samrat Ramdeo Yadav, the last sovereign of the #Yadava dynasty, passed away. Ramdeo was followed by his son Shankardeo. Shankardeo, died in 1312 CE.
In the 1906 Zulu 'rebellion' (as the #British called it) in South Africa, Gandhi had appealed to #Indians community in South Africa to form 'Indian Ambulance Corps'.
He fought multiple battles against #Mughals between 1662-71, of which the Battle of Saraighat (1671) is more well-known.
(2) 1622, Nov 24: Lachit Barphukan was born to Momai Tamuli Borbarua, the Commander-in-Chief of the #Ahom army.
The Ahom kingdom had its capital at Garhgaon (👇, right), and extended upto Manas river in the west (Bongaigaon - western-border town)
(3) 1662: Mughal invasion of Assam under Mir Jumla. Lachit had fought in the battle of Dikhowmukh as the leader of royal bodyguard (Dolakaksharia Barua)
During this invasion, a Muslim traveller with Mir Jumla takes note of Ahom weapons.
