Being an indian, and living in the same state. I am suprised to hear this story of Malik ambar. Amazing history. Such a shame all this is not taught in schools today.
We need more information on Hindu Dynasties. They were also there I guess Ancient India has an underrated history and so much of that history was wiped away by invasion.
I am from the Oromia region of Ethiopia and I'm an Oromo but I was not aware of this amazing history. I really want to thank the K&G for this incredible video
@@greenpulseeducation5002 Oromos lived in borena long before 1520. The Geda system (created many centuries ago) was first created and implemented there
I am siddi but I have ancestry from both indian and African side, Now we are mixed in indian society. Siddis in Gujarat and Maharashtra and Pakistan are muslim while the one in the south are Christian with very small minority as Hindus.
Is no one gonna say anything about how K&Gs switch up the art dependant on the culture? This is a trend I noticed while contrasting their content related to Rome, Mongols, and the empires of the middle east. Like its something they could have kept the same but went the extra mile to depict the cultural aspects of each video and I have nothing but admiration and appreciation for their hard work.
Aurangzeb was another name cruelty and destruction. Aurangzeb was so full of hate, he vandalized many monuments in Ellora caves, which were created some 5000 years ago, just because the monuments were replicas of Hindu and Buddhist gods. These caves were totally man-made and chiseled out of very large single mountain rock. Modern architecture would easily forfeit in front of architecture of Ellora and Ajanta caves.
India has nearly 5000 years old written history. If so old history is there, emotions are there too of original Indian people. So many people tried to invade India, only to get to closer to their end. So these people who tried to invade, situated here for little time only to get thrown out, tried to change many things i.e. names of cities, culture, languages etc. They never succeeded. The original name of Aurangabad was "Khadki" recognized as town near Deogiri fort. Aurangzeb changed the name to Aurangabad. Now majority of people demand renaming city to "Sambhaji Nagar", which will happen because they already renamed Aurangabad airport to "Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Airport", so now change in the city name is also expected. It will be Sambhaji Nagar.

Once more youtube fills the vacuum left by education system around the world. This story should be taught in every school around the world. Thank you K&G.
why? It is literally a tiny drop in history of the Indian people. To outsiders, maybe exception is a big deal but to Indians what does it mean? In the West, the exception becomes the rule but in India the exception is just another exception. Was he seen as an actual ruler? He had to get a puppet. The issue with such shallow videos is they lack context; what exactly do you think the majority of HIndu Indians were doing at this time? This is our land, our resources, our culture, our history. I see comments here as if the actual majority, Hindu Indians, don't exist in this story. This story is told as if they are simply bystanders in their own land. Western nonsense. Get a real Indian to tell this story and put it in rightful context. No one came to this land and ruled while the majority Indians stood idly by.
@@s.b626 "No one came to this land and ruled while the majority of Indians stood by" I'm starting to question if you're even Indian, have you ever heared about The east India company? And the rule of India by the British? Why are you getting mad over someone about something so minuscule like a black guy ruling over a small part of India? That sounds like something too small for you to care or does it? It does becuase you're racist.
RSS and affiliated organisation have twisted history. They will portray Maratha rulers as rulers of india. While they were confedracy and were very weak economically and militarily when compared to earlier mughals. Rulers of chittor are portrayed as defenders of hinduism while mewar was a small kingdom that lies between delhi and Gujarat every ruler of delhi wanted direct access to ports of Gujarat. So they always wanted it under their yoke.
History can't be based on imagination, it is what really happened in past. And Rulers whether hindu Or muslim they always fought for their own wealth it was never for public. They were very cruel and sucked the blood out of comman public. While they lived a overly luxurious life comman folks were extremely poor.

@@kumarpushpak70 dude fuck you he is an african man that made his story in India. This is no more Indian than African history. He was an Indian African or African Indian which ever you prefer and to make it all about your culture is an ugly look, coming from an Indian.
This is actually a lie, and this channel is just regurgitating what they read from false stories. In fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India. These Ethiopians were called the Naga. It was the Naga who created Sanskrit. A reading of ancient Dravidian literature which dates back to 500 BC, gives us considerable information on the Naga. Chapu wasnt even the name, that is not an oromo name and he was not oromo but was from harar.
Actually slavery in Islamic world was different from the West. Muslim sultan needed slaves as soldiers who than showing their loyalty and ability became vizirs and sometimes sultans. Most of the Turk sultans were themselves slaves. Mehmud Gaznavi, Altamash, Balban, Tughluq etc were slave sultans.
I have spent large part of my childhood in the city of Ahmednagar, I knew the locations but never knew the history of the place. Thanks for making this video :D
Malik Amber is the one who introduced guerilla warfare to the Marathas., Maloji and Shahaji Bhosle, father of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, when they were serving under Nizamshahi of AhmedNagar.

I am from modern day city of Aurangabad, Maharashtra ( India ) and I've learnt about Malik Ambar by exploring the cities rich historical heritage. Its a shame that nothing much is taught about him in our history books. I am happy that you've covered story about Malik Ambar in this video. Even after the destruction of city, there are many historical sites apart from the legacy left behind by Malik Ambar. I'll urge everyone to visit the city once to see historical sites and the legacy of Malik Ambar.
You don't need to be a black guy to like African History, it is part of Human History. And there is nothing wrong in wanting to know about our fellow Humans!

Malik Ambar was the Prime Minister of the Ahmednagar Sultanate & a pioneer of guerilla warfare. He is credited with the introduction of revenue settlement in Deccan & built the famous Janjira fort. A great Deccan hero.
Great video, thank you for making it guys. Wanted to add that at his death, even his Mughal schoalrs wrote praise for Ambar, "In warfare, in command, in sound judgement, and in administration, he had no rival or equal. [...] He kept down the turbualant spirits of that country, and maintained his exalted position to the end of his life, and closed his career in honour. History records no other instance of an Abyssinian slave arriving at such eminence." -Mutamad Khan, Mughal scholar. We made a video on Malik Ambar sometime ago and now we are happy to see more and more of Malik Ambar on UA-cam. Great job!
Malik Ambar was a remarkable general who was the first to train the Marathas. It was he, who first recognised the swiftness and the guerrilla warfare skills of Marathas. Though Ahmednagar kingdom was absorbed into the Mughal empire not long after his death, the Marathas played a key role in the destruction of the Mughal empire. By the mid of 18th century and even further till the Marathas were finally supplanted by the Britishers, they were the virtual masters of Hindustan.
Was about to point out the very same thing! Imagine all of Maratha history and success not stemming from Shivaji but the achievement of an African warlord. I wish Indian history wasn't this biased
In my opinion, Ambar had seen more than most of the locals starting with Africa, slavery, Baghdad (very sophisticated city at that time), and was highly educated and above all was very determined because of his past history. His instinct for survival plus his disdain for oppression must have kept him ahead of the game and garnered him followers. By the way, where are the descendants of the 'Habshis?'
@@Trials_By_Errors He gave you kingdom? Were the previous governments in India not kingdoms? You had swaraj(independence) during Malik Ambar's time as well. He fought for the independence of the Maharashtra people against the Mughals. I don't see what his Chatrapaty-ness has to do with anything. He may as well have been a "Kumar" and you'd worship him all the same
True history knows that the impact of the African is equal to that of the Europeans, Asians, Arabs, Persians and the like. At every point in history there were Africans playing a part. Nothing wrong with acknowledging it
@Sultan Abdulhameed II no they wants to. Millennia ago the whole of India followed the vedic culture. That's true. However what Vedic culture was and what Hinduism is now is a big difference bc for almost 1000 years the Vedic population suffered the destruction of temples and educational institutions, the genocides of learned monks and Brahmins and the scattering of students, led to a widespread decline in Vedic education. With the fall of kings that followed vedic culture, science research and philosophy faced some setbacks due to a lack of funding, royal support, and an open environment. Mansa Musa I of Mali was the wealthiest person in medieval history. Some Indian temples have treasure vaults that haven't been opened for 100s of years. One that is opened contained $22 billion worth of gold jewelry, gems etc. Imagine what the 5 still closed vaults have. There are many temples like this.
karan dullet I personally love all world history it’s amazing hearing the real life stories of people of the past and how they thought and conducted themselves. Indian history is cool in its own separate way.
@@dontsearchdocumentingreali9621 Ethiopian history is simply amazing. There's a lot of african history that's amazing and needs to be told the right way.
The story of this incredible individual, obscured by what I can only think to call 'mainstream history', is truly remarkable. K&Gs storytelling prowess is also highlighted by exquisite narrative and contextual artwork. Magnificent

Why is there a conspiracy against African history? If it wasn't for wonderful Independent content creators like these, we would have never known these stories.
White supremacy, by hiding African history it creates an image that Africa never contributed to civilisation, which justify the discrimination they receive all over the world.
African history is present in "white history book" in high school and university. And if with Internet you cannot found books on African History the problem is not Conspiracy. A different and real matter on History is that most of the people stopped to study after they left school, but stopped to study everything in reality, AND there are problems on selling books to non history-fan people. Majority of history books are on British Empire, U.S. Revolutionary and Civil wars, Napoleonic Wars, Greco-Roman Civilizations, Viking Age, WW1 and WW2 because sold to everyone. Sometimes you find a book on Western Colonialism in the Americas. Localy you can found books on african or asiatic civilization that were colonized. K&G started in the same way and now used money to improve itself with good quality art and stories. AND most important, it used English to speak worldwide and English is the lingua franca of world and it can reach almost all. Not so if it were a French or German or Spanish.
Malik Ambar is the founder of many systems in Maharashtra. His style of bargi giri seems to have evolved into Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's ganimi kawa and later fast moving light cavalry tactics of Bajirao Peshwe. @kings and generals: It would be great to see your videos on these extraordinary personalities as well.
@@GyanTvAmit strategy of ganimi Kawa have evolved from bargi giri.. Maloji bhosle ( grandfather of shivaji ), Sahaji bhosale ( father of Shivaji).

Hey K and G you missed one very important point. Malik Amber devised land measurement system in Deccan. He devised unit known as 'Malik Ambar chi Kathi' ( stick of malik ambar) to measure land. Later its name changed to 'shivkathi'. It is still in use in some parts of deccan. Usually used while dividing properties among brothers.

@Sultan Abdulhameed II maybe you should read the real history and archaeological texts. India was a Hindu country. In fact the word 'Hindu' and 'India' both are derivatives of the same word 'Indus'. I think you didn't learn your 6th class history :)
@Vedprakash Meena thanks for watching! 7 years of self training, and some 50 hours on Photoshop and After Effects, we are a team by the way and I am responsible for the art of this episode, that is why I answered.
For anyone who knows Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Malik Ambar was the best friend of Shivaji Maharaj's father Shahaji Maharaj. They have fought so many fights together. 16:25 you said Ambar broke the DAM to defect the enemies. But actually, DAM Called ""Shahapur Dam" was Broken by Shahji Bhosale with his Commander Mankoji Dahatonde in the Battle of Bhatwadi. And the empire that you mentioned was established by Shahaji Bhosale with the help of Malik Ambar not only by Malik Ambar. Later it turned into Swarajya which was Build by Shivaji Bhosale and then the Maratha empire.
@Rohan Dick, First of all, the Maratha empire and Hindavi Swarajya both are different terminologies. Maratha Empire was established by the Younger Grandson of Shivaji Maharaj And Hindavi Swarajya Was started by Shivaji Maharaj. The concept of Hindavi Swarajya was to Protect Motherland people like Marathi Hindus & Indigenous people. Malik amber was Muslim, so how can he support Swarajya? His motive was to Protect Nizamshahi of Ahmednagar which gave him his name(& Fame) and Shahaji was the Sardar of Nizamshahi, but he was also fighting for the Marathi people. After the destruction of Nizamshahi, He became Adilshahi Sardar and Adilshah was the person who gave Pune, Junnar, Chakan, Indapur Village Jahagiri(Present Pune District) to Him. His Queen Jijau had started teaching Shivaji about the Self Rule of the Marathi people. Later they Established Present Pune city earlier it was a small Village. Shivaji and His mother declared Pune as the Capital of Swarajya. Shivaji Maharaj started their Career with 2000 warriors from Pune city. So what was Your Question, Who laid the seed of Swarajya? It was Started by Shahaji and continued by Shivaji. Then After Sambhaji(Elder son of Shivaji) death, Swarajya becomes Maratha Empire.
I am from Aurangabad. We know the story of Malik Amber since childhood. He was a great administrator. Built many innovative infrastructure like underground water supply which still working all year in many places. In his tenure there were tallest buildings 7/8 storey, some other unique buildings where small roads pass thru builings etc.
I'm from Sangli Maharashtra. Close to Ahmednagar. I read about Malik Amber few years ago. Truly fascinating. Shows diverse and tolerant culture of medieval India.

Unlike Aurangzeb who destroyed peace and prosperity.
Aurangzeb was another name cruelty and destruction. Aurangzeb was so full of hate, he vandalized many monuments in Ellora caves, which were created some 5000 years ago, just because the monuments were replicas of Hindu and Buddhist gods. These caves were totally man-made and chiseled out of very large single mountain rock. Modern architecture would easily forfeit in front of architecture of Ellora and Ajanta caves.

India has nearly 5000 years old written history. If so old history is there, emotions are there too of original Indian people. So many people tried to invade India, only to get to closer to their end. So these people who tried to invade, situated here for little time only to get thrown out, tried to change many things i.e. names of cities, culture, languages etc. They never succeeded. The original name of Aurangabad was "Khadki" recognized as town near Deogiri fort. Aurangzeb changed the name to Aurangabad. Now majority of people demand renaming city to "Sambhaji Nagar", which will happen because they already renamed Aurangabad airport to "Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Airport", so now change in the city name is also expected. It will be Sambhaji Nagar.

Facts well said
why? It is literally a tiny drop in history of the Indian people. To outsiders, maybe exception is a big deal but to Indians what does it mean? In the West, the exception becomes the rule but in India the exception is just another exception. Was he seen as an actual ruler? He had to get a puppet. The issue with such shallow videos is they lack context; what exactly do you think the majority of HIndu Indians were doing at this time? This is our land, our resources, our culture, our history. I see comments here as if the actual majority, Hindu Indians, don't exist in this story. This story is told as if they are simply bystanders in their own land. Western nonsense. Get a real Indian to tell this story and put it in rightful context. No one came to this land and ruled while the majority Indians stood idly by.
@@s.b626 "No one came to this land and ruled while the majority of Indians stood by" I'm starting to question if you're even Indian, have you ever heared about The east India company? And the rule of India by the British? Why are you getting mad over someone about something so minuscule like a black guy ruling over a small part of India? That sounds like something too small for you to care or does it? It does becuase you're racist.

Indian history is written by stoners & losers hence..
RSS and affiliated organisation have twisted history.
They will portray Maratha rulers as rulers of india.
While they were confedracy and were very weak economically and militarily when compared to earlier mughals.
Rulers of chittor are portrayed as defenders of hinduism while mewar was a small kingdom that lies between delhi and Gujarat every ruler of delhi wanted direct access to ports of Gujarat.
So they always wanted it under their yoke.
History can't be based on imagination, it is what really happened in past.
And Rulers whether hindu Or muslim they always fought for their own wealth it was never for public.
They were very cruel and sucked the blood out of comman public.
While they lived a overly luxurious life comman folks were extremely poor.

This is actually a lie, and this channel is just regurgitating what they read from false stories. In fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India. These Ethiopians were called the Naga. It was the Naga who created Sanskrit. A reading of ancient Dravidian literature which dates back to 500 BC, gives us considerable information on the Naga. Chapu wasnt even the name, that is not an oromo name and he was not oromo but was from harar.

Actually slavery in Islamic world was different from the West. Muslim sultan needed slaves as soldiers who than showing their loyalty and ability became vizirs and sometimes sultans. Most of the Turk sultans were themselves slaves. Mehmud Gaznavi, Altamash, Balban, Tughluq etc were slave sultans.

Great video, thank you for making it guys. Wanted to add that at his death, even his Mughal schoalrs wrote praise for Ambar, "In warfare, in command, in sound judgement, and in administration, he had no rival or equal. [...] He kept down the turbualant spirits of that country, and maintained his exalted position to the end of his life, and closed his career in honour. History records no other instance of an Abyssinian slave arriving at such eminence." -Mutamad Khan, Mughal scholar.

"Everyone loves a good underdog story"
You had me at that one
Underdog stories, best stories
Malik Ambar was a remarkable general who was the first to train the Marathas. It was he, who first recognised the swiftness and the guerrilla warfare skills of Marathas. Though Ahmednagar kingdom was absorbed into the Mughal empire not long after his death, the Marathas played a key role in the destruction of the Mughal empire. By the mid of 18th century and even further till the Marathas were finally supplanted by the Britishers, they were the virtual masters of Hindustan.
Was about to point out the very same thing! Imagine all of Maratha history and success not stemming from Shivaji but the achievement of an African warlord.
I wish Indian history wasn't this biased
Abdali destroyed Marathas not Britain
@@mohammedfasi2227 in 1772marathas had reconquered everything they had lost in 1761
In my opinion, Ambar had seen more than most of the locals starting with Africa, slavery, Baghdad (very sophisticated city at that time), and was highly educated and above all was very determined because of his past history. His instinct for survival plus his disdain for oppression must have kept him ahead of the game and garnered him followers. By the way, where are the descendants of the 'Habshis?'
@@Trials_By_Errors
He gave you kingdom? Were the previous governments in India not kingdoms?
You had swaraj(independence) during Malik Ambar's time as well. He fought for the independence of the Maharashtra people against the Mughals.
I don't see what his Chatrapaty-ness has to do with anything. He may as well have been a "Kumar" and you'd worship him all the same
True history knows that the impact of the African is equal to that of the Europeans, Asians, Arabs, Persians and the like. At every point in history there were Africans playing a part. Nothing wrong with acknowledging it
Brilliant
very much so, i agree

@Sultan Abdulhameed II no they wants to. Millennia ago the whole of India followed the vedic culture. That's true. However what Vedic culture was and what Hinduism is now is a big difference bc for almost 1000 years the Vedic population suffered the destruction of temples and educational institutions, the genocides of learned monks and Brahmins and the scattering of students, led to a widespread decline in Vedic education. With the fall of kings that followed vedic culture, science research and philosophy faced some setbacks due to a lack of funding, royal support, and an open environment. Mansa Musa I of Mali was the wealthiest person in medieval history. Some Indian temples have treasure vaults that haven't been opened for 100s of years. One that is opened contained $22 billion worth of gold jewelry, gems etc. Imagine what the 5 still closed vaults have. There are many temples like this.

African history is present in "white history book" in high school and university. And if with Internet you cannot found books on African History the problem is not Conspiracy. A different and real matter on History is that most of the people stopped to study after they left school, but stopped to study everything in reality, AND there are problems on selling books to non history-fan people. Majority of history books are on British Empire, U.S. Revolutionary and Civil wars, Napoleonic Wars, Greco-Roman Civilizations, Viking Age, WW1 and WW2 because sold to everyone. Sometimes you find a book on Western Colonialism in the Americas. Localy you can found books on african or asiatic civilization that were colonized.

This is the first time I will heard about Malik Amber's. And as Africa man is a great inspiration we never told in school. Thank you so much k&g
I cannot thank you enough for making this fascinating documentary. I will be visiting Aurangabad this winter and am thankful to know this history...truly unique!
You guys deserve to hit a million subs, you guys produce some awesome history content.
Thanks :-)
thanks for watching!
He served almost all the Deccan sultanates and was a top notch mercenary.
I am an Ethiopian and never heard of him growing up in Ethiopia! It’s shame that heard of him recently! May Allah have mercy on him!
Fun fact: Shah Jahan, the one who eventually conquered malik ambar's kingdom, is the mughal emperor who built the famous Taj Mahal, for his beloved wife
Really?
Built ? Or Remodeled an existing Red-Stone Rajaput Palace ? Research yourself .
@@santosh.script
He built the Monument in empty place of land
Do you think a Emperor who ruled the whole subcontinent would build a memorial for his beloved wife on top of someone else palace .
Million of indian perished building Taj mahal and it was built by A persian architect.
@@DrStrange234 Yeah , definitely the locked chambers of Taj Mahal, Interior Red Stone structure already-existing red Foundation , and two mutual Looking Guest on either sides , have something serious to say about its legitimacy. But the White Marble Creativity is genuinely crafted by Persian Arstists , no doubt
@@santosh.script stop believing everything on internet Nd WhatsApp... It's just a big lie
Hey K and G you missed one very important point. Malik Amber devised land measurement system in Deccan. He devised unit known as 'Malik Ambar chi Kathi' ( stick of malik ambar) to measure land. Later its name changed to 'shivkathi'. It is still in use in some parts of deccan. Usually used while dividing properties among brothers.
Greetings from Argentina! Still waiting for the documentary about the independence campaings of Generals San Martin, Belgrano and Guemes. Love this channel!
The Kingdom of Abyssinia in Ethiopia and the Kingdom of Adal in Somalia were really powerful players in Africa at the time. Even dragged in the Portuguese and Ottoman Empires. Full on matchlock-cannon warfare.
New-Era ahmed gurey captured him told him to convert but refused so he was beheaded
The Portuguese were a player back then they wanted to steal the prophet's grave so much so that they could exchange it for the holy land.
of course their plan failed because of the Ottomans.

In Maharashtra India, we address them as Habasana and Shamal meaning Ethiopia & Somalia.
@@Honey_B_River the Portuguese after the were crashed in the naval battle near muqdisho the never came to the ajurn empire(southern Somalia). And couldn’t go north to Arabia. The ottomans helped with ships but it was us who fought and defeated the Portuguese.

Any videos about Abram Petrovich Gannibal, the African slave that became a Russian General under Peter The Great or Gonzalo Guerrero the Spaniard that became a Mayan War Chief before Cortez Landed
Both of these sound amazing
Wow! Both!
Those stories seem amazing.
Yes! That's what I was thinking of as well. He was the great Grandfather of Alexander Pushkin, the father of Russian literature.
Any link to Guerrero
One of the best videos rolled out by Kings and Generals. Ambar's story, the artwork, the editing, the narration (as usual), etc. all make for a very fascinating mini‐documentary. Definitely worth watching as with most K&G videos. Thanks!
Thank you for watching! I was responsible for the art, love being a member of the awesome K&G team!
@@otgunz You're welcome. The way you incorporated the Mughal era art and aesthetic was great, fits the story nicely. Two thumbs way up!👍👍
I'm an Indian, citizen of the largest Democracy - why is this being hidden from us ? Is there any more stories such as this.

@Sultan Abdulhameed II maybe you should read the real history and archaeological texts. India was a Hindu country. In fact the word 'Hindu' and 'India' both are derivatives of the same word 'Indus'. I think you didn't learn your 6th class history :)
Oh, it has been lovely to see you grow several hundred thousands while I have watched your videos.
You do make an aspiring historian interested.
Man, this tale is so romantic, he really outdid himself, a true King. Malik Ambar, I got to remember his name.
Chand bibi deserves a chapter in Indian history 😭😭😭😭 so under rated
The art in this video is stunning -- absolutely top notch. Great job!
Thanks :-)
@Vedprakash Meena thanks for watching! 7 years of self training, and some 50 hours on Photoshop and After Effects, we are a team by the way and I am responsible for the art of this episode, that is why I answered.

@@RandomGuy-df1oy can't knock you for that
im honestly show ashamed i have no idea what your talking about please explain
(Mughal soldiers show up on the Decan border)
Malik Ambar: Ah shit, here we go again.
Remind me of CARL JOHNSON
For anyone who knows Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Malik Ambar was the best friend of Shivaji Maharaj's father Shahaji Maharaj. They have fought so many fights together. 16:25 you said Ambar broke the DAM to defect the enemies. But actually, DAM Called ""Shahapur Dam" was Broken by Shahji Bhosale with his Commander Mankoji Dahatonde in the Battle of Bhatwadi. And the empire that you mentioned was established by Shahaji Bhosale with the help of Malik Ambar not only by Malik Ambar. Later it turned into Swarajya which was Build by Shivaji Bhosale and then the Maratha empire.
@Rohan Dick, First of all, the Maratha empire and Hindavi Swarajya both are different terminologies. Maratha Empire was established by the Younger Grandson of Shivaji Maharaj And Hindavi Swarajya Was started by Shivaji Maharaj. The concept of Hindavi Swarajya was to Protect Motherland people like Marathi Hindus & Indigenous people. Malik amber was Muslim, so how can he support Swarajya? His motive was to Protect Nizamshahi of Ahmednagar which gave him his name(& Fame) and Shahaji was the Sardar of Nizamshahi, but he was also fighting for the Marathi people. After the destruction of Nizamshahi, He became Adilshahi Sardar and Adilshah was the person who gave Pune, Junnar, Chakan, Indapur Village Jahagiri(Present Pune District) to Him. His Queen Jijau had started teaching Shivaji about the Self Rule of the Marathi people. Later they Established Present Pune city earlier it was a small Village. Shivaji and His mother declared Pune as the Capital of Swarajya. Shivaji Maharaj started their Career with 2000 warriors from Pune city. So what was Your Question, Who laid the seed of Swarajya? It was Started by Shahaji and continued by Shivaji. Then After Sambhaji(Elder son of Shivaji) death, Swarajya becomes Maratha Empire.
I am from Aurangabad. We know the story of Malik Amber since childhood. He was a great administrator. Built many innovative infrastructure like underground water supply which still working all year in many places. In his tenure there were tallest buildings 7/8 storey, some other unique buildings where small roads pass thru builings etc.
The Deccan provided some of the most cunning, brave tough warriors & kings to India.
I live in aurangabad and i had no idea about this
From Mumbai same situation
Well, you learn something new every day!
Study your history
A son of Oromo nation here. I am coming to Aurangabad to claim the throne 😁
I'm from Sangli Maharashtra. Close to Ahmednagar. I read about Malik Amber few years ago. Truly fascinating. Shows diverse and tolerant culture of medieval India.
Such a great job, once again! This was a very inspirational story, and something I will teach my children.
I am hindu maratha from ahmednagar. Than you for your work.
Fun Fact: Malik Amber had a general called Shahaji. Whose son went on to form the legendary Maratha Empire which ultimately replaced Mughals.
*Mughals* : We'll win Deccan within years.
*Malik Amber exists.*
*Mughals* : I don't feel so good :(
@তৈমুর লং uhhh they never held deccan really
@তৈমুর লং Deccan says No to Mughals. And after the Deccan Sultanates, Maratha Empire & Nizam had the Deccan while Mughals were confined to Delhi only.
@@leaveme3559 well yes, but actually no
@তৈমুর লং হিন্দুগো আবার পিটানো দরকার।

I’m thankful this channel exists and is telling these amazing stories. Well done.
His aqueduct system is still famous in deccan
Aryan Rahul Ok but why is that relevant to his statement?
