Book excerpt: 'The epic text of Ranjit Desai's Shriman Yogi finds new voice in Vikrant Pande's nuanced translation, an immersive narrative of the foundations of the Maratha empire and the saga of its charismatic founder.' - Namita Gokhale. Young Shivaji reaches Pune, a dying fort city, with his mother Jijabai and lights the first lamp within its ruins. While his father Shahaji Bhosle is away on deputation by the Adil Shah sultanate after having failed in a revolt against it, Shivaji learns how an empire is built from the ground up. Thus begins the life of the Great Maratha. What awaits Shivaji is nothing short of the vast scroll of history, and it takes him from Surat to Thanjavur and all the way to Aurangzeb's durbar in Agra. He dreams of freeing his land from the clutches of Mughal rule, and though he suffers many defeats and personal losses along the way he never gives up his vision of Hindavi Swaraj. Amidst political intrigue and a chain of skirmishes, Shivaji becomes a leader, a warrior and a tactician par excellence, driven by immense pride and love for his motherland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “States fall, empires break up, dynasties become extinct, but the memory of a true “hero as King” like Shivaji remains an imperishable historical legacy…” – Jadunath Sarkar, House of Shivaji (1919) Shivaji Bhonsle was an Indian warrior king who went on to lay the foundation of the strong Maratha Empire. The first Chhatrapati, he is known to have outdone his predecessors as well as successors in giving an identity and status to Marathas. A tactful military commander and skilled administrator, he steadily built his army from a mere two thousand soldiers to almost five-fold, and also developed a naval force. He defeated Afzal Khan and Adil Shah, giving strong resistance to the Mughal forces. From forming guerilla forces to immensely contributing in the development of the civilization of Marathas, he carved a niche in all spheres of operation. Shivaji: The Great Rebel explores the lifespan of Shivaji as an Indian king who instigated a new fire in the hearts of people against the Mughal Empire and taught them to fight for their rights. It highlights Shivaji as one of the prominent rulers to inspire people to fight for Hindu pride and raise their voice against cruelty. He stood up to guard and preserve the nation's honour, and is a great source of inspiration till date.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the landlords or the revenue officers of the administrative system recognized as the Watan System which was rampant for more than five centuries before India’s independence. With a focus on the Deshmukhi Watan or the Desgut, held by Deshmukhs or Desais, this volume presents the hierarchy of the chain of officers like the Patils, Deshpandes, Kulkarnis, etc., and attempts to reflect on the status accorded to them by the society and the treatment they received from the British in the 19th century. Topics explored in this volume relate to the administrative history, the judicial institutions, laws of inheritance, role of religion, commonness of superstition, customs and traditions, etc. We find ample citations of the authoritative sources backing the views expressed by the author at every turn as we proceed. The book has a foreword written by Dr. Teotonio R. de Souza, a historian and the founder of Xavier Center for Historical Research, Goa.

This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface The period commencing about the end of the 19th century till the end of the 20th century marked the 'golden era' of 'gharandaj/gharanedar khayal gayaki'(traditional 'khayal gayaki'). The south-west region of India which was then known as Bombay Presidency comprised of the princely states of Kolhapur, Sangli, Miraj Senior, Miraj Junior, Kurundwad Senior, Kurundwad Junior, Jamkhandi, Mudhol and Ramdurg. Only exceptional performers of outstanding caliber were appointed as 'darbar gayaks' (or 'state musicians') of these prestigious princely states. "Proudh Gandharva" Pandit Vishwanathbuwa Jadhav and his illustrious sons namely, "Gantapasvi" Pandit Baburao alias B.V. Jadhav, "Swara-Ratna" Pandit Rajaram alias Pandit R.V.Jadhav and "Ganrasila" Pandit Pandurang alias P.V. Jadhav, were reputed 'darbar gayaks' and distinguished direct disciples of "Sangeetratna" Ustad Abdul Karim Khan who pioneered the prolifi c 'Kirana gharana' 'khayal' vocal tradition of this golden era. They all gained individual recognition and fame and are still legendary. The visionary and benevolent ruler of the erstwhile Kolhapur State, Shrimant Chhatrapati Maharaja "Rajarshi" Shahu ("the "saintly king") honoured Pandit Vishwanathbuwa Jadhav by offi cially appointing him as the 'darbar gayak' of Kolhapur State. Later the enlightened ruler "Nalwadi" Maharaja Krishnaraj Wodaiyar of Mysore State bestowed upon Pandit Vishwnathbuwa Jadhav the coveted title "Proudh Gandhava" ('a seasoned mature celestial singer'). The virtuous ruler of Kolhapur, Chhatrapati Maharaja Rajaram-III accorded "Proudh Gandharva" and his acclaimed vocalist sons the sobriquet "The Gandharva Parivar of Karveer Nagar". ("The Family of Celestial Singers of Karveer Nagar") or Kolhapur. Pandit Vishwanathbuwa Jadhav was offi cially also instated as 'Rajgayak' ('principal state-musician' of Sangli State by Shrimant Rajasaheb Chintamanrao Dhundirajrao ('Appasaheb-II') Patwardhan of Sangli State. As 'darbar gayak' he also received the patronage of Shrimant Rajasaheb Ganpatrao Madhavrao ('Bapusaheb') Patwardhan of Kurundwad State. In appreciation of Panditji's lifetime contribution to 'Hindustani shastriya sangeet', Pandit Vishwanathbuwa Jadhav was duly felicitated in Delhi by the fi rst President of India-Dr. Rajendra Prasadji. The "Proudh Gandharva" legacy continued to be perpetuated by Pandit B. V. Jadhav, Pandit R.V. Jadhav, Pandit P.V. Jadhav and "Proudh Gandharva"-'s disciple and daughter-in-law Smt. Shakuntalaraje (née Patwardhan) Jadhav, all of whom were extraordinary performer-pedagogues of the 'Kirana gharandaj khayal gayaki' in their own rights. - A. R. Jadhav
