Shahaji was released on the condition that Shivaji kept a low profile and kept from further conquests.īut Shivaji resumed his conquests after Shahaji’s death in 1665 by acquiring the valley of Javali from Chandrarao More, a Bijapur jagirdaar. Shivaji had emerged as a threat for Mohammed Adil Shah who gave the order to imprison Shahaji in 1648.
In 1645 he successfully got control of several strategic forts under the Bijapur Sultanate around Pune – Torna from Inayat Khan, Chakan from Firangoji Narsala, Kondana from Adil Shahi Governor, along with Singhagarh and Purandar. Shivaji was married to Saibai Nimbalkar in 1640. Kanhoji Jedhe and Baji Pasalkar were appointed to train Shivaji in the military and martial arts. Since Shahaji spent most of his time outside of Pune, the responsibility of overseeing Shivaji’s education rested on the shoulders of a small council of ministers which included a Peshwa (Shamrao Nilkanth), a Mazumdar (Balkrishna Pant), a Sabnis (Raghunath Ballal), a Dabir (Sonopant) and a chief teacher (Dadoji Konddeo).
He was the son of Shahaji Bhonsle, a Maratha general who held the jagirs of Pune and Supe under the Bijapur Sultanate and Jijabai, a pious woman whose religious qualities had a profound influence on him. Shivaji was born on 19 th February 1630 at Shivneri Fort in District Pune in the present-day state of Maharashtra.
