Biography of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, also known as Shambhu Raje/Chhava

Chhatrapati Sambhaji was the second ruler of the Maratha Kingdom. He was the eldest son of Shivaji, the founder of Maratha Empire and his first wife Saibai. He was successor of the realm after his father's death, and ruled it for 9 years. Sambhaji's rule was largely shaped by the ongoing wars between the Maratha kingdom and Mughal Empire as well as other neighbouring powers such as the Siddis, Mysore and the Portuguese in Goa. In 1689, Sambhaji was captured, tortured and executed by the Mughals, and succeeded by his brother Rajaram I.
