Hindu blood was shed and Muslims ruled over India.¾At the time of the birth of Shivaji, his father Shahji Bhonsle went to the south to fight with his opponent, Mughal Knight Darya Khan Rohilla. Therefore he could not reach Shivneri to celebrate the birth of his son. After killing Rohilla he reached Shivneri to see his son. He was very pleased to see such a beautiful son. But he was not able to stay long with his son. He went towards south India at the invitation of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.
