Treaty of Purandar

𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿 (𝟭𝟲𝟲𝟱)

The Treaty of Purandar (Marathi: पुरंदर चा तह) was signed on 11 June 1665, between Jai Singh I, commander of the Mughal Empire, and Shivaji. Shivaji was forced to sign the agreement after Jai Singh besieged Purandar fort. When Shivaji realised that war with the Mughal Empire would only cause damage to his empire with possibility of his men suffering heavy losses, he chose to enter the treaty instead of leaving his men under the Mughals.[citation needed]

𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘆

Following are the main points of the treaty:

Shivaji kept twelve forts, along with an area worth an income of 100,000 (1 lakh) huns.[citation needed] Shivaji was required to help the Mughals whenever and wherever required[citation needed]. Shivaji's son Sambhaji was tasked with the command of a 5,000-strong force to fight for Mughals as Mansabdar.[citation needed] If Shivaji wanted to claim the Konkan area under Bijapur's control, he would have to pay 4 million (40 lakh) hons to the Mughals. He had to give up his 23 forts, which include Purandar, Rudramal, Kondana, Karnala, Lohagad, Isagad, Tung, Tikona, Rohida fort, Nardurga, Mahuli, Bhandardurga, Palaskhol, Rupgad, Bakhtgad, Morabkhan, Manikgad (Raigad), Saroopgad, Sagargad, Marakgad, Ankola, Songad, and Mangad.[citation needed] Along with these requirements, Shivaji agreed to visit Agra to meet Aurangzeb for further political talks. 122.163.186.131 (talk) 19:55, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a separate article on the treaty. In addition, you cannot add unsourced information on the article. You need to provide reliable sources.MehmoodS (talk) 19:59, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jai Singh's involvement

@R2dra, Jai Singh was the Mughal commander in this battle as per the records. So stop doing POV pushing. Imperial ^[AFCND] 15:19, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frequent removal of Shivaji

@Flemmish Nietzsche, Please consider keeping this article on your watchlist, as it concerns one of the most sensitive events in Indian history. The sensitive area is the aftermath of the battle where the celebrated Maratha leader Shivaji is said to have surrendered per WP:RS. The article has faced several challenges, including the removal of reliable, cited information due to personal bias. And I know that I don't have to explain you the problems in this TA, especially in the case of history. Since I am on a long-term Wikibreak, could you please monitor this area? Thank you.
