Скачать или смотреть 1681: Sambhaji’s Burhanpur Raid That Shook Aurangzeb

In 1681, Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji, launched one of the boldest raids in Indian history — the attack on Burhanpur, a wealthy Mughal city in the Deccan.

Burhanpur was a symbol of Aurangzeb’s pride, filled with riches, merchants, and Mughal officers who believed they were safe under imperial protection. But Sambhaji’s daring strategy changed everything.

With just a swift and well-planned move, the Maratha forces stormed the city, looting Mughal treasuries, setting fire to markets, and capturing immense wealth. The attack left Burhanpur in ruins and Aurangzeb humiliated.

This raid was more than just about treasure — it was a psychological blow to the Mughal Empire, proving that the Marathas could strike at the very heart of Mughal power.

The Burhanpur Raid of 1681 stands as a turning point in the long Mughal–Maratha struggle, showcasing Sambhaji’s fearless leadership and the Marathas’ determination to resist imperial domination.
