Instructions:
Your answer should have the following points:
Why Shivaji decided to attack the Mughals
What was Shivaji’s plan.
What were the results of this attack
Solution:
After the Mughals had cheated Shivaji and put him under house arrest, he decided to wage an aggressive attack on the Mughals.
He had a master plan in place where he wanted to get back what the Mughals had taken away from him.
He planned on capturing the forts and the territories that were in the Deccan areas, under the rule of the Mughals.
He planned on capturing them at the same time. This was done to distract the Mughal armies and divide them.
Shivaji was successful in recapturing several forts such as forts in Sinhgad, Purandar, Lohagad, Mahuli, Karnala and Rohinda.
He even attacked Surat for the second time and defeated the Mughal Sardar, Daudkhan.
Shivaji’s sardar, Moropant Pingale was able to capture Triambakgad near Nashik.
By the end of this, Shivaji was able to recapture 24 forts in a matter of just four months.
