Introduction :
|
|
Located in the northern center of peninsular India, Maharashtra is
surrounded by the Arabian sea in the west, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh on
the north, Madhya Pradesh in the east and Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh
on the south. Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra, which derives its
name from the Goddess Mumba Devi.Maharashtra is a large, populous and
economically important state. The Lands of Caves, Forts and Temples
Mumbai is the capital of the Maharashtra State, India's fourth largest
State, but it does not reflect the spirit of Maharashtra.Mughal rulers
from Delhi tried their best to keep this region under their control.
From the middle of the 17th century, a new group of warrior people came
to dominate the scene in Maharashtra and elsewhere in India called
Marathas. The origin of Marathas is still debatable, but what is known
is that they stole the
limelight from the great Mughals and at one point of time even captured
Delhi. It was only after defeating the Marathas that
the English could establish their rule in India. Shivaji was the first
great ruler of Marathas and it was he who paved the way for future Maratha influence on India |
