Question

Who is known as swaraj visionary?
A) Shivaji Maharaj
B) Shahaji Raje
C) Veermata Jijabai
D) All of above

Answer 1

Hint: Swaraj is a Sanskrit phrase made up of the particles swa, which means "self" or "own," and raj, which means "rule." Swaraj, on the other hand, is self-rule or self-control. It is both the starting point for nonviolent coexistence in society and the base for human liberation from the power of outer control over the mind.

Complete answer:
Shahaji Bhosale (c. 1594–1664) was a 17th-century Indian military officer who served the Ahmadnagar Sultanate, the Bijapur Sultanate, and the Mughal Empire at various times. Shahaji Bhonsle inherited the Pune and Supe jagirs (fiefs) from his father Maloji, who served at Ahmednagar. He joined the Mughal troops and served Emperor Shah Jahan for a short time during the Mughal conquest of Deccan. He switched to the Bijapur Sultanate in 1632 after losing his jagirs and regaining control of Pune and Supe.

After Bijapur's assault on Kempe Gowda III's lands in 1638, he also gained the jagir of Bangalore.
Shivaji Maharaj's father, Shahaji Raje, was a prominent Sardar in the Deccan. He sought to create Swaraj by removing foreign influences from power. As a result, he is referred to as the Swaraj visionary. Thus, Shahajiraje is known as swaraj visionary.

Therefore the correct answer is Option (B) Shahaji Raje.

Note: Shahjiraje was appointed as the main commander of Bijapur and was in charge of the city's growth. Maloji's brother, Vithoji Raje, raised him and his brother Sharifji when their father perished in a battle while fighting on the side of Nizam Shah. He made the Bhosale family famous as an early proponent of guerilla warfare. Shivaji, the founder of the Maratha Empire, was his son.
