Khan-Saheb agreed to go up the hills atPratapgad to meet his nemesis. When themeeting took place, Afzal Khan embracedShivaji and with his diminutive enemy

(Shivaji was less than five feet in height) inhis grip, Afzal suddenly pulled out hisdagger and tried to stab Shivaji. WhenAfzal's dagger could not plunge into Shivaji

Maharaj due to the protective armourwhich Shivaji was wearing, Afzal tried tothrottle him. But the wily Maratha wasmore than prepared for this as he had

Encounter with Shaista Khan -Aurangzeb's Uncle

The next Khan to come down 'literally'before Shivaji was Shaista Khan.

On hearing Shivaji's depredations,

Aurangzeb was furious and wanted todesperately crush this infidel upstart.

He sent his maternal uncle Shaista Khan

with a large and powerful army tocheckmate Shivaji.

But even this time the wily Marathaproved that brain was stronger than thebrawn.

Broad Principles of Shivaji'sAdministration

1. The defence of the country (swarajya) should be given highestpriority through a net-work of well garrisoned land and marineforts, a strong army and a navy. In view of peculiar geographical

features of Maharashtra,specially the Konkan region, this was thebest means of protecting the land from the hostile powers.

1. All posts were to be filled on the basis of merit and not heredity,caste, or religion.

1. Revenue collection was to be direct, i.e. by the State, through itsown agencies and departments, and not through middlemen ofany type.

1. During war, and in course of raids in the enemy territory, thewomen, children and religious places were not to suffer any harmor damage.

Shivaji was an able and competentadministrator and established a governmentthat included such modern concepts as cabinet(Ashtapradhan mandal), foreign affairs (Dabir)and internal intelligence.

His legacy is heroism, selflessness, freedom,independence, brotherhood and unwaveringcourage, and as such he is a great role model forthe ages.

Toward the end of his reign he had built up

the Maratha forces to be over one hundredthousand strong, and was able to effectivelykeep the Mughal forces in check and on thedefensive while expanding his kingdomsouthward to Gingee, Tamil Nadu.

Using guerilla warfare techniques, he was

successful in annexing a major portion of theMughal Empire.
