The 2nd Chhatrapati Sambhaji

Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the formidable second ruler of the Maratha Empire, fiercely defended his father's legacy against the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. He engaged in strategic military campaigns to safeguard Maratha territories. However, his unwavering refusal to convert to Islam, even when subjected to brutal torture by Aurangzeb's forces, exemplifies his unyielding commitment to his Hindu faith and homeland. This extraordinary resolve has etched his name in history as a symbol of Indian courage and patriotism, embodying the indomitable spirit that defines our nation.
