In 1689 CE, Sambhaji was captured by the Mughal army. He was tortured and finally executed in the same year. After Sambhaji, Shahu Maharaj took control of the Maratha Empire. Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb gave him the title of 'Shahu'. The term 'Shahu' means honest. This title was given to him in order to contrast his character with that of his grandfather Shivaji.
