Description
Shivaji’s Carnatic Expedition was one of the greatest sagas of Maratha history, and Indian Medieval history. After his coronation in 1674, Shivaji Maharaj planned this expedition with great care and sagacity. He needed a substantial kingdom to match this title of Chhatrapati. He needed space for strategic defence in depth. He needed a place where he could, if the need arose, send his second son Rajaram away from the tempestuous Sambhaji.
He had 2 bitter foes, the Mughals and the Adilshah. To keep them at bay and secure the friendship of Qutub Shah the enemy’s enemy should be the friend. Abu Hasan Tanashah was won over and he supported Shivaji Maharaj with money and a small contingent of troops. Militarily it was an astonishing success. To march nearly 3000 kilometers, much of it through enemy territory, to conquer a larger area.
