In 1705 , the Portuguese Government of Goa introduced a Eight rupee annual tax (when monthly salary was 5-10 rupees) for keeping शेंडी or choti.

Next time someone cracks jokes, let's know the inspiration.

The coronation of Chhatrapati Shivaji made him an अभिषिक्त राजा and elevated him to the status of Indra / Vishnu.

What is the reference for this GramJoshi ?
बरं मग त्या ग्राम जोशी च पुढे काय झालं ?

मार खाल्ला का त्याने ? पुलीसात तक्रार केली ?

आणि हो - ह्या उताऱ्यात मला तरी ग्राम जोशी दिसले नाहीत. Image
आता हा Book of Bombay (1883) मधला उतारा.

समाधी दिसत होती की. दुरावस्थेत पण दिसत होती.

आता महात्मा फुले यांनी समाधी या आधी बघितली की नंतर ?

आधी बघितली तर अवस्था अशी कशी असेल ? नंतर पहिली तर शोधायला ३ दिवस का लागले ? Image

The root of Fergusson College is in the New English School established in 1880 by Lokmanya Tilak , Chiplunkar and Namjoshi.
This morphed into the Deccan Education Society in 1884 with support from others such as Agarkar and Gokhale.

Rajashri Shahu of Kolhapur, at the time 10 years old, was named President. It was a honorary designation.

Kolhapur itself was under a British Regency at the time.
Chhatrapati Shahu was only a child of ten. Leave alone decisions to start a college in Pune, even decisions in Kolhapur were being taken by a British Regent (well obviously)

This doens't take away from his glorious reign but let's not attribute something which never happened.

Tipu attacked the Maratha town of Nargund , imprisoned the ruler , forcibly converted Hindus and committed atrocities on the female population.

That was the trigger for first Maratha attack on Tipu around 1785.

Great to see you support Tipu.

Good to see you continue to be proud of Tipu.. Image

The Battle of Kirkee / Ganeshkhind which settled the fight for #Pune between Bajirao II and the East India Company.
Probable route taken by Mountstuart Elphinstone to escape the Maratha attack on the British Residency at the Sangam and join the soldiers at Kirkee.
With most of the battlefield now a concrete (and in some parts actual) jungle , it's a bit difficult to imagine.

The Marathas under Bapu Gokhale proceeded via the Lakdipul and other routes , through Bhamburda , onto the present Ganeshkhindroad to Ganeshkhind
