On April 3, 1680, at the age of 53, Shivaji Maharaj, who is regarded as one of India's bravest and most visionary leaders, passed away. His demise is shrouded in mystery and urban mythology.
Several legends claim that Shivaji Maharaj spent several days sick with dysentery and a fever. He took a bath and offered his morning prayers on the day before he passed away, but his health worsened. He then called for his son Rajaram and gave him control of the government.
According to some reports, Madhavrao Ballal, Shivaji Maharaj's physician, poisoned the monarch. Some claim that Ballal was paid out by Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor, to assassinate Shivaji Maharaj.
Several historians, however, concur that Shivaji Maharaj passed away from natural causes. They claim that he suffered from a protracted sickness and that, during the previous few years, his health had been deteriorating.
Notwithstanding the unsolved circumstances surrounding his passing, Shivaji Maharaj's legacy as a valiant warrior, a bold leader, and a supporter of the underdog continues to motivate millions of Indians. He is remembered for his valour, military strategies, and dream of founding a free Maratha state that would contend with the Mughal empire.
Even today, Maharashtrians look up to Shivaji Maharaj as a source of inspiration and pride, and every year on the anniversary of his birth, they observe Shivaji Jayanti. The history of India will always honour and remember him for his contributions to the cause for Indian independence and dedication to the well-being of his people.
