His administration focused on justice, welfare, and efficient taxation. He inspired generations with his patriotism, courage, and leadership. Even today, he is revered as a hero of Indian history, embodying bravery, wisdom, and resilience.
After Shivaji’s death, Sambhaji became the second ruler of the Maratha empire and ascended the throne in 1681.
