Sambhaji Real story

Hi Friend

In earlier post we seen Sambhaji Maharaj Birth & about that, so today we discuss about earlier life of Sambhaji Maharaj.

            Sambhaji was born at Purandar fort to Saibai, Shivaji's first wife. His mother died when he was two and he was raised by his paternal grandmother Jijabai. At the age of nine, Sambhaji was sent to live with Raja Jai Singh I of Amber as a political hostage to ensure compliance of the Treaty of Purandar that Shivaji had signed with the Mughals on June 11, 1665. As a result of the treaty, Sambhaji became a Mughal sardar and served the Mughal court of Aurangzeb and the father and son duo fought along the Mughals against Bijapur. He and his father Shivaji presented themselves at Aurangzeb's court at Agra on May 12, 1666. Aurangzeb put both of them under house arrest but they escaped on July 22, 1666.[2]

Marriage 

            Sambhaji was married to Jivabai in a marriage of political alliance and per Maratha custom she took the name Yesubai. Jivabai was the daughter of Pilajirao Shirke, who had entered Shivaji's service following the defeat of a powerful Deshmukh RaoRana Suryajirao Surve who was his previous patron. This marriage thus gave Shivaji access to the Konkan coastal belt.[3]:4[3][4]

           Sambhaji's behaviour, including alleged irresponsibility and addiction to sensual pleasures led Shivaji to imprison his son at Panhala fort in 1678 to curb his behaviour.[3][4] Sambhaji escaped from the fort with his wife and defected to the Mughals in December 1678 for a year but then returned home when he learnt of a plan by Dilir Khan, the Mughal viceroy of Deccan to arrest him and send him to Delhi.[5] Upon returning home, Sambhaji was unrepentant and was again confined to Panhala
