If muslims mock chh shivaji as "mountain rat" then it's expected, but the irony metre gets broken when rajputs call him "rat" just b'coz of his hilly forts

Yes, It's indeed Maratha Vs. Rajput Battle

Look at his audacity
He didn't even showed single contemporary document to counter his argument

Malharrao's wife died in October 1771 and that's why he was busy in her final rites.
Although Malharrao reached Mukandara in November 1761. Image

As-salamu alaykum friends

I'm aurangzib alamgir, the most miserable emperor of my lineage, I beheaded my brothers, impriosned & tortured my father, upsurped the throne by means of treachery & converted poor people bcuz the word "peace" my religion never allowed to happen Image My illegitimate offsprings on twitter & insta think I humbled chhatrapati shivaji

But they don't know how Persian emperor Shah Abbas ll mocked me in letter by saying " you call yourself alamgir but can't subdue a mere zamindar like shivaji, the chief of kafirs " Image
