'Yeh haq taa ni naam hain 'SWARAJYA'.' 'Hara Hara Mahadev ! Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki jai. The real 'Swarajya' mission started from the foothills of Pratapgadh. Afzal Khan got killed and that sweet success motivated the Marathas to conquer all the important forts which were under the Mughal Empire. Shrimant Rayajirao Bandal saved Shivaji's life by stopping an arrow with his hand. 'Bhale saabaash.' Bajiprabhu Deshpande was also a great warrior in Shivaji's batallion. Rajmata Jijabai also stepped into the battlefield and the Marathas kept on winning battles against the Mughal empire.
Chhatrapati Shivaji sat on the throne in Bijapur, the capital city of the great Maratha empire. 'Raja aale, Raja aale, jinkunyia jagbhari, 'shivaba rajan' naav gaajan ji.' Dipaiaau Bandal took a bold decision. 'Adilsahi lu kar dena naahi.' Maatoshri Soyra Bai along with Aginya came to Bandal Rajwada to give a good news. 'Aapune Panhala jeet le Aausaheb.' Why Badi Begam of Adilsahi Sultanate was angry on both Siddhi Johar and Rustamejaman ? Panhalgadh and Vishalgadh forts were restructured. 'Qila majboot karan.' They made another master plan to kill Shivaji, but, Shivaji was not alone. 'Tumi hain toh swarajya hain, Jai Bhavani.'
Siddhi Johar was assigned a task and Sayesta Khan was marching towards Deccan Plateau. The British people helped Siddhi Johar with cannons. The 'East India Company' came to loot India in the name of doing business. 'Hey maanush nahe, hey toh keval shaitan.' To attain 'Swarajya' and 'Swatantra Bharat', Shivaji decided to kick out all the English people from India. The war of freedom started. 'Aale re, aale, Marathi aale'. Harpya gave the secret information. Bahirji Nayak was given the task to shift Shivaji safely from Panhala to Vishalgadh. Jotwani sticks have Phosphorus indeed !
Narvir Shiva Kashid looked exactly like Shivaji ! Fulajiprabhu gave the much required motivation to his younger brother. 'Hey Shivarayaccha yukticha laage na paare, aare haan, bagha bagha bagha yugat maandali, rajaa ni yugat maandali.' Shivaji sent Gangadhar Pant to give an invitation to Siddhi Johar. Suddhi Johar knew what happened with Afzal Khan before, but, initially, got carried away as Gangadhar Pant convinced him with his sweet words. Later on, Siddhi Johar found something fishy. 'Kuch toh hain, joh sahi nahi hain.' Shiva Kashid became a martyr. The enemies were nearing them. 'Raja, jaao tumi'. 'Apun punah bhetnarahau Baji.'
In the forest of Shayadri, the battles started. Fulajiprabhu kept on fighting despite getting hit by several arrows. Aginya became a human bomb. Harpya was running through the jungle to save the Marathas by giving them a very important secret information. Rustamezaman, just like a coward person, attacked from behind to kill Rayaji. The Marathas again started the fight against their enemies. The soldiers of Adilsahi Sultanate failed to tame the Marathas with swords, so, they used the guns at Ghodikhind. 'Baji la goli laagla.' Harpya reached the right spot at the right time. 'Thamba Raja, thamba'.
Koyaji suggested to use the 'Vajravalay' technique of the Bandals to attack the enemies at the foothills of Vishalgadh. 'Koyaji tope taiyaar karaa'. With the blood, the picture of the cannon was drawn on a white cloth to signal the guards of the fort. The Adilsahi Sultanate utilized Siddhi Johar and then killed him. But, the Maratha empire was not built on the basis of greed and cruelty, but was based on bravery, sacrifice and humanity. Chhatrapati Shivaji felt proud of all the great Maratha soldiers who fought for 12 hours at a stretch. 'Annyay viruddh larhnachi prerna denahi, yeh aahe "PAWANKHIND".'
