Culture and society remain in tandem with today’s global history. Awakening African roots in youths again!!! Our Hope and the future are embedded in our roots & History.

We easily lose the uniqueness and originality of our origin due to western culture. Imposing their own way of life and propriety as the right course of doing things.

WNTV is awakening the consciousness of our youth in black roots, culture, and order. See Nigerian, African, and World Culture and history unfold in our today and future.

See Indian Historical Facts: Fight Between Tarabai and Saahoji Maharaaj

There was a battle of succession between Tarabai and Saahoji Maharaaj after Aurangzeb’s death in 1707. Since the fall of the Maratha stronghold, Raigad in 1689, when Chhatrapati Rajaram moved the capital to Jinji fort Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu, Shahu Raje, and Maharani Yesubai have been held as political captives by the Mughals.  

Mughal Internal War  

Therefore, during this Mughal internal war, the Mughals attempted to play a game to split the Maratha power and free Shahu Raje in order to avoid a conflict with the Marathas, which they had been losing for 27 years. 

The circumstance was that Rani Tarabai served as the current Chhatrapati of Swarajya, Shivaji II, who was the son of Chhatrapati Rajaram and Maharani Tarabai. As the eldest prince of the dynasty and the son of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, who was the eldest son of the first Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Shahu Raje arrived in Deccan when the Mughals freed him and asserted his claim to the throne of Swarajya.  

Because Shahu was the son of Sambhaji Maharaj, his claim was stronger than that of Chhatrapati Rajaram’s son. Shahu claimed to be the rightful successor in letters to all generals and administrations, inviting them to join him. On the other hand, Maharani Tarabai had doubts about him because he had spent a considerable amount of time—17 years—in Mughal captivity. She wondered whether he was really Shahu or an impostor sent by the Mughals. She, therefore, refused to accept him as the heir to the kingdom.
