Explanation

Shivaji was the founder of the Maratha Empire, which rose to dominate much of the Indian subcontinent in the 18th century. He established Hindavi Swarajya, meaning "self-rule of Hindus," and revolted against the Adil Shahi dynasty and the Mughals to carve out a kingdom with Raigad as his capital.
