He didn’t say a word and went to Aurangzeb. Shambhu Raje was furious and Ruhilla Khan was surprised after seeing this. Ruhilla Khan, who was sent to get information from Sambhaji Maharaj related to Marhatta treasures, mentions that Sambhaji Maharaj said, ”He will die but will never give information of the Hindavi Swarajya to this vile person”. All through the King and his friend were humiliated the fire in their eyes did not seem to be deprived. Sambhaji Maharaj and Kavi Kalash were put in the dungeons of Bahadurgad the same day. As Sambhaji Maharaj was brought in front of Aurangzeb, the tyrant kneeled on the carpet, facing towards the sky, posing for prayer, thanking ‘GOD‘ for this act. Sambhaji Maharaj along with Kavi Kalash were taken in this avatar around the entire camp so that young and old Muslims will be happy to see the infidels being captured. This news reached the emperor who was staying in Akluj, after hearing this he ordered Hamduddin Khan, to bring the captives (Sambhaji Maharaj and Kavi Kalash) in chains and manacled. The writer further mentions that ”the Emperor’s devotion to Islam ordered that Sambhaji Maharaj should be made to wear a wooden cap (a sign of a criminal) and as he enters the camp, there should be drum beating and trumpets pealing so that” Muslims ” might be heartened and infidels (Hindus) will be disheartened“. ”Mukarabh Khan’s son Ikhlas khan went inside the Haveli and dragged Sambhaji Maharaj and Kavi Kalash by their hair and 25 of Maharaj’s chief followers and their wives were made prisoners”, he further writes.

Here in this chapter, in the very beginning, it is written, ”A news fell on the ears of Muslims that they were waiting for years, finally, Sambha has been captured ”. ‘Capture and execution of Sambha’ is a chapter that describes the fanatic nature of Aurangzeb and how desperately he wished to humiliate the Hindu King. In the authentic Islamic biography of Aurangzeb by Muḥammad Sāqī Mustaʻidd Khān, he has written a chapter dedicated to the capture and death of Sambhaji Maharaj.


333 years ago today, the Hindavi Swarajya lost its second Chhatrapati, when the Islamic Tyrant Aurangzeb killed Sambhaji Maharaj after a month of horrendous torture.ĭistorians like Audrey and others have tried to portray Aurangzeb as some kind of benevolent ruler, but the truth of how the Islamic invader tortured Hindu rulers is a chapter of history that can never be forgotten. Chhatrapati Sambaji Maharaj, a name that every Hindu takes with utmost pride for his courage, brilliance, bravery and the ultimate sacrifice he gave for the protection of the Hindu Dharma.
