Event occured on 1666-05-24 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning. Those like begam jahAn-ara, javar khAn and jaswant singh kept egging awrangzeb after shivAjI had angrily left awrangzeb’s darbaar. Awrangzeb ordered siddi fulAd to take shivAjI to Rad-andaz Khan’s mansion. rAmasiMha, son of jayasiMha, heard of it. He at once rushed to Muhammad Amin Khan’s house and interceded with him saying: “The Emperor is thinking of killing Shivaji. But he has come here under a solemn assurance of safe conduct (kaul). So it is proper that the Emperor should first kill me, summon my son and kill him and only then kill Shivaji.” So Muhammad Amin Khan went to the Emperor and reported Ram Singh’s words. Whereupon the Emperor said: “Tell Ram Singh to stand surety for Shivaji. If Shivaji escapes or does any mischief Ram Singh will be responsible. Let Ram Singh give a security bond in writing.” When Muhammad Amin Khan returned and narrated this to Ram Singh, he agreed to give a security bond.

Event occured on 1665-05-26 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning. Mogols under Jai Singh, assisted by the paThAn Dilir Khan (with nephews Ghairat and Muzaffar), had beseiged closely situated purandara and rudramal forts. H mansabdArs of mogols like kirAta-simha, haribhAn kunwar, udaybhAn, chaturbhuj chauhAN, mitrasen, indraman bundela assisted. Daud Khan and Qutb ud Din khAn had also joined. With huge cannons named ‘Abdulla Khan’, ‘Fath Lashkar’ and ‘havelI’ taken up opposite summits, the beseigers had downed rudramal. Mogols mined and bombarded safed-burj and kAlA burj - the undermining of which would lead to capture of the lower fort.
Taking 700 select men murAr bAjI prabhu sallied out in a desperate melee and attacked dilIr khAn. 500 paThAns died as did 300 marAThas. murAr and few desperados dashed right up to dilIr khAn’s position. Refusing generous surrender promises, he ran up to dilIr khAn sword in hand. dilIr downed him with an arrow. The rest ran back to the fort. (sabhAsad chronicle.)

Event occured on 1666-06-15 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning. shivAjI was under strict house arrest since 25th May after his petition to return home in exchange for 20 million Rs was refused. Quote below is from Mehendale’s book.
“Soon afterwards, probably on 5th June, it was reported to the Emperor that Shivaji’s and Ram Singh’s men were daily coming to Agra. The report was probably false. But it was enough to infuriate the Emperor. He ordered Siddi Fulad and the men of the artillery: “Go and seize Shivaji and kill him.” But it would seem that by this time Shivaji had won over not only Jafar Khan and Muhammad Amin Khan but the Emperor’s elder sister Jahan Ara as well, for she at once urged the Emperor: “Mirza Raja [Jai Singh] is a sincere servant of Your Majesty. Shivaji came here relying upon his assurance. If you kill him now no one will have any faith in your word.” It was due to her intervention that the Emperor rescinded the order. It was probably this incident which led Ram Singh to take additional precautions for Shivaji’s safety. Since 5th June, Ram Singh’s men began keeping watch around Shivaji inside the circle of guards which had been posted by the Emperor’s orders. Ram Singh justified this saying that the Emperor had kept Shivaji in his custody and he would be held responsible if Shivaji escaped or committed suicide.”
jayasiMha too helped: “After the incident of 12th May, the Emperor had written to Jai Singh informing him of what had occurred and had asked for his advice in the matter. To this, according to the Alamgirnama, Jai Singh had replied that as he had concluded a treaty and covenant with Shivaji, he would be obliged if Shivaji’s offences would be pardoned and that such a policy would also be advantageous in view of the campaign against Bijapur. He also instructed Ram Singh to ensure that Shivaji remained safe and the sanctity of his and Ram Singh’s promises to Shivaji remained inviolate. At first Jai Singh had even beseeched the Emperor to let Shivaji return home. "

Event occured on 1858-06-18 (gregorian). On 17 June in Kotah-ki-Serai near the Phool Bagh of Gwalior, a squadron of the 8th (King’s Royal Irish) Hussars, under Captain Heneage, fought the large Indian force commanded by Rani Lakshmibai, who was trying to leave the area. The 8th Hussars charged into the Indian force, slaughtering 5,000 Indian soldiers, including any Indian “over the age of 16”. They took two guns and continued the charge right through the Phool Bagh encampment. In this engagement, according to an eyewitness account, Rani Lakshmibai put on a sowar’s uniform and attacked one of the hussars; she was unhorsed and also wounded, probably by his sabre. Shortly afterwards, as she sat bleeding by the roadside, she recognised the soldier and fired at him with a pistol, whereupon he “dispatched the young lady with his carbine”.

So, Ajai Singh was murdered, his heart was cut out, and thrusted into Banda Bahdur’s mouth. Later, banda’s eyes were pulled out and his hands and feet chopped off.

Event occured on 1999-07-07 (gregorian). Captain Vikram Batra of 13th battalion, Jammu and Kashmir Rifles, called Shershah by pAkistani jihAdist enemies for his prior bravery, died capturing Point 4875 on this day.
Area Flat Top, an adjacent peak and part of enemy defences on Point 4875 was being held by Capt. N.A. Nagappa till he was rendered unconscious by a shell. Vikram Batra, though still recovering from earlier injuries, insisted on going up to help. Seeing Batra’s determination to save Peak 4875 and the honour of his battalion, several of his company’s soldiers volunteered to accompany him even before any official orders had been issued. Just before leaving, Batra along with the 25 men of D Coy who were to accompany him, prayed at the Durga Mata temple.
His company was tasked to clear a narrow feature with sharp cuttings on either side and heavily fortified enemy defences that covered the only approach to it. For speedy operation, Captain Batra assaulted the enemy position along a narrow ridge and engaged the enemy in a fierce hand –to-hand fight and killed five enemy soldiers at point blank range. Despite sustaining grave injuries, he crawled towards the enemy and hurled grenades clearing the position. Though it was pitch dark, on a foggy snowy night with a near vertical climb, Batra downed 3 machine gun positions. By the time they reached the top, it was daylight. Not finding an alternate route to reach Capt Nagappa, they decided to make a direct daylight frontal assault. Under heavy fire from enemy machine guns and grenade launchers, the captain shouted ‘Durga mata ki jai’, and charged the sangar firing incessantly from his AK-47. Despite injury, he managed to breach it, punch a pAki soldier on the nose before bayoneting him (and downing another). They further captured a machine gun nest, killing 4 pAkis. Realising that one of his men was shot, Batra decided to evacuate him - positioning himself in the front saying ‘You have a family and children to go back to, I’m not even married.’. Then he was fatally shot by enemy sniper, and an RPG splinter caught him.
Earlier victory: During ‘Operation Vijay’, on 20 June 1999, Captain Vikram Batra, Commander Delta Company was tasked to attack Point 5140 of Dras. Leading from the front, he in a daredevil assault, pounced on the enemy and killed four of them in a hand-to hand fight. He radioed the predetermined code: ‘Yeh Dil Mange More!’. Batra was promoted to the rank of captain, and congradulated by the Army chief.

Event occured on 1745-07-12 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning. On this day died bhAi tAru, arrested and scalped by Mughal governor of Punjab, Zakaria Khan.
Context: They were supplying some food to the sikhs. Though his sister’s freedom was bribed for by the villagers, Singh refused to seek a pardon. Bhai Taru was brought before the Khan and asked him where he got his powers from to undergo all of the agony. His reply was through his keshas (‘unshorn hair’) blessed by Guru Gobind Singh. Zakaria Khan then gave him the choice of either execution or conversion to Islam and having his hair cut off as an offering. Upon his refusal to forsake his religion, in a public display, Bhai Taru Singh’s scalp was cut away from his skull with a sharp knife to prevent his hair from ever growing back. The latter outlived the governor.

Event occured on 1301-07-18 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning. The accomplished hammIra deva chAhamAna of raNastambhapura (ranthambore) died at the young age of 28, after a long seige at raNastambhapura (ranthambore).
Initially it was Ulugh Khan from Bayana, and his general il-Ghazi Nusrat Khan from Qara - each with regiments of 40,000 Turkish cavalrymen and over 10,000 Kullar (slave/ convert/ castrato) infantrymen with Arraadaas (trebuchets), gargachs (seige engines) and Manjiqs (mangonels) vs elite Rajput cavalry of 12,000 and 40,000 infantrymen with cross-bows, devices that spray fine red hot sand and burning oil. They wiped out the city of Jhain. hammIra beat them back.
Then Alla came forth with 90k cavalry and beseiged raNastambhapura. The nephews of the Rana, Kahnaiya and Bala Simha from Chittor cut through the cordon and brought some supplies and horses. Alla’s efforts were initially futile. Alla then got a Buddhist traitor Sarjan Sah, who for a price, pointed out the location of the granary. Alla with giant trebuchets hurled rotting corpses and refuse into the granary to pollute it. Rajputs were left without viable food. The Rana’s queen Rangaa-Devi immolated herself with the other women. Wearing orange robes, the Rana, his younger brother Viram Deva, his teenaged nephews, his three commanders, Rai Ranadhira, Rai Gangadhara and Kshetra Singh Parmar and the four Mongol brothers with Kehbru at their head advanced to take on the Sultan. The battle is said to have raged so fierce that the Moslems lost 4000 men while the Rana’s troops were whittled down to just 200. The Rana’s horse was shot down and he continued fighting on foot. He placed his arrows in front of him on the ground and started shooting down the Moslem army.
Context: HammIra was a fine ruler, fighter as well as a medical scholar (authoring sadyogamuktAvalI)! khalji ruler Alla-ud-dIn, having murdered jalAl-ud-dIn, decided to exterminate chauhans. Hammira Deva had given refuge to mongol rivals of the khalji turks as well. Ulugh Khan sent a message to the Rana to humbly accept Islam and hand over the Mongol chiefs whom he had sheltered.
Aftermath:
Hammira is celebrated as a hero in several texts composed after his death including Nayachandra Suri’s Hammira Mahakavya, Jodharaja’s Hammira-Raso, and Chandrashekhara’s Hammira-Hatha.
The Turks captured the Mongol Alaghu and Alla offered him the post of a general. Alaghu said he was not willing to serve a lowly Khalji, whose tribesmen were once Naukers of Chingiz Kha’Khan. Alla had Alaghu crushed under an elephant and his head was exhibited in Delhi as a trophy.
The Buddhist traitor Sarjan Sah, hoped a lavish reward from the Sultan, but he was instead clubbed to death.
The City of Ranthambhor was blotted out and the Sultan devastated all the temples in the region. Thus ended the power of the Chahamanas in Hindustan. The library of saMskRta works at Ranthambhor was burnt down by the jihAdists; whatever material could be salvaged was collated several years later as a collection of maxims and poetic sketches by Sharngadhara the grandson of Raghavadeva the Brahmin prime minister of Hammira Deva.

Event occured on 1679-07-25 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning. Durgadas rescues the Marwar royals and escapes from Delhi towards Jodhpur & conducted Ajit Singh safely to Marwar. He defeated the pursuing Mughals.
Context: jasvant singh rAthoD of mArvAr died a few months earlier to the excitement of Awrangzeb. Aurangzeb wished to annex Marwar on this opportunity; however Durgadas Rathore wanted the infant son of Jaswant Singh, Ajit Singh to be the successor. Aurangzeb agreed to make him successor only if he was raised in Mughal harem, & converts to Islam. Durgadas asked Aurangzeb to let Ajit Singh be presented to Mughal court only after he comes of age. Not agreeing, Aurangzeb tried to imprison Durgadas Rathore alongwith infant Ajit Singh & the 2 queens of Jaswant Singh.
Hari Om!Thank you Vishwasji for a note on Hammira.I have read Nayachandra Suri's work and had presented it a few years back.When I visited Ranathambore, the history came live through the oral tradition.There are ballads on his bravery. He fought 17 battles in his reign of 12 years and won 13 of those.सिंह सवन सत्पुरूष वचन, कदली फलत इक बार।

Event occured on 1669-08-15 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning. Mogol forces under rAma siMha (son of jayasiMha) of Amber defeat Ahom forces under Lachit Borphukan in a forced challenge. 10k Ahom soldiers were killed. This would be reversed a few years later in the Battle of Saraighat, two years later, in 1671 CE.
Background: A few years after shivAjI’s escape, rAmasiMha was sent by Awrangzeb to capture assam. His efforts at psychological warfare and dissent bore fruit when King Chakradhwaja Singha gave Lachit Borphukan and his commanders an ultimatum to attack mogols the very next day. Lachit was bewildered - charging the superior Rajput cavalry would be suicidal and that a naval engagement with the Mughals would be more feasible.
Lachit Borphukan had accepted rAmasiMha’s challenge and prepared a force of 40,000 men under four commanders. However, he led Ram Singh to believe that the Ahom army was only 20,000-strong. So the Rajput king sent only 10,000 soldiers under the command of Mir Nawab and madanavatI. Madanavati’s carnage on horseback only ended after she was shot dead by a stray bullet. Lachit’s hidden reserves then turned the tide. rAmasiMha became angry and then sent in the entire Rajput cavalry along with Mughal veterans who had been standing by.
Event occured on 1753-08-15 (gregorian). On this day, Duch East India Company submitted to a peace treaty with mArtANDa varma of tirvanantapuram - abandoning all hopes of political and commercial dominance in keraLa, agreeing not to obstruct the Raja’s expansion, and in turn, to sell to him arms and ammunition.
भारतस्वातन्त्र्यदिनोत्सवः
On this day, British finally quit India after splitting it into two (owing to bloody Muslim League strikes, and it's own geopolitical interests) inimical parts - resulting in many decades of Anglicized Indian rule (which was nonetheless better than British times), rapid fall in infant mortality and sharp rise in life expectancy.
Event occured on 1946-08-16 (gregorian).
Direct Action Day, a Ramzaan Friday, was a day of nationwide protest by the Indian Muslim community announced by Jinnah. The day also marked the start of what is known as The Week of the Long Knives aka 1946 Calcutta Killings. More than 4k people lost their lives, 11k were seriously injured and 100k residents were left homeless in Calcutta within 72 hours.
The Muslim League were demanding a separate independent states since their 1940 Lahore resolution. In 1946, they’d agreed to a three-tier structure: a centre, groups of provinces, and provinces. In July 1946, it withdrew its agreement to the plan and announced a general strike (hartal) on 16 August.
By 1940, Muslim League “volunteer corps” / private army had 4154 members according to a British report. Since the 11–14 February 1946 riots in Calcutta, communal tension had been high. Following Jinnah’s declaration the Muslim League government announced a general holiday - despite Congress protests. On 14 August, Kiron Shankar Roy called on Hindu shopkeepers to keep their businesses open. Muslim newspapers (eg Star of India) published the programme for the day detailing procession routes. Muslim League branches were advised to depute three workers in every mosque in every ward to explain the League’s action plan before Juma prayers - with clear comparisons to Prophet Muhammad’s conquest of Mecca and establishment of the kingdom of Heaven in Arabia.
On the day, Muslim crowds (30-50k by 4PM) gathered at a maidAn. During Suhrawardy’s speech, he said that the military and police were restrained (though police did not receive any such order). Prominent Muslim League leaders (including Suhrawardy) later spent a great deal of time in police control rooms directing operations and obstructing police duties - but the British Governor did not stop them.
Attacks on Hindus started right after the meeting, and by 5:30PM, men could be seen carrying loot. Trucks came in carrying Muslim gangsters with brickbats and bottles. A 6 pm curfew was imposed in the parts of the city. Besides significant participation from butchers, dock-workers, masons and mill-workers, mob frenzy was directed by criminals such as ‘Bombaiya’ of New Market and Munna Choudhuri in the Harrison Road. Ambulences were mobilized and petrol couplons issued in the names of minsters were used.
Noted Hindu toughmen, Gopal Patha (a goat butcher) and Jugal Chandra Ghosh (who ran an akhAra) soon raised teams of vigilantes, plus reward money and carried out defence and retaliatory attacks (Beliaghata area and the Miabagan basti).
Worst of the killings happened on 17th August. Especially, Syed Abdullah Farooqui - workers union leader and Elian Mistry led a huge armed mob to Kesoram Cotton Mills and slaughtered workers. By late afternoon, soldiers were called in. On 21 August, Bengal was put under Viceroy’s rule.
Event occured on 2019-08-19 (gregorian).
Farid-ud-din Shaikh and Ashfak Shaikh came dressed in saffron kurtas to give Kamalesh Tiwari a sweets box (hiding a knife and pistol there), slit his throat and shot him. According to the police, the pistol and sweets used in the murder were bought in Surat and the murder was planned in Dubai. Several conspirators were arrested.
Context: In Dec 2015, Arun Jaitley supported decriminalization of homosexuality. Azam Khan (a criminal politician who would be jailed and illegal property seized a few years later) called RSS members homosexuals. Tiwari retaliated saying that Muhammad was the first homosexual. Tiwari was arrested and jailed for a few months, even as lakhs of muslims went into frenzy.
Event occured on 1740-08-22 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.
To prevent the Sikhs accessing the holy shrine [Darbar Sahib], or the “Golden Temple”, at Amritsar a strong Mughal military officer, Massa Ranghar, was stationed. He started carousing with dancing girls and consuming meat and alcohol there. Mehtab Singh and Sukkha Singh set off from rAjasthAn, disguised themselves as revenue officials, entered Harmandir Sahib, cut off Ranghar’s head and escaped before the Mughal soldiers could realise what had happened.
Event occured on 1666-08-27 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.
shrAvaNa k12. A few days earlier on 13th, rAmasiMha had refused to receive shivAjI, who had been ordered to be moved to rAjA viTThaldAs’s mansion.
Shivaji pulled off one of the greatest escapes in history from the jaws of death at Agra. In a story corroborated by multiple contemporary sources, shivAjI feigned illness after being put under house arrest. He started sending alms and food to holy men; and gifts to noblemen. In the initial days, guards search these outgoing baskets - later they became lax. One day Hiroji Farzand wore his master’s clothes and slept in bed, with only a hand with shivAjI’s wristlet being uncovered; a boy massaging his feet. shivAjI and his son escaped in the baskets. The following day, guards were fooled by seeing Hiroji. After a while hIrojI to switched to his own clothes and went away. Mogols discovered the escape the next day.
rAmasiMha (whom many tried to implicate along with jayasiMha) was in a soup - and dismissed from service. 4 brAhmaNas who were part of rAmasiMha’s inner guard circle were arrested and tortured till they made a false confession. Treasure left behind by shivAjI was confiscated as “harAm ka mAl” and sold off.
Later events:
12th September 1666: Shivaji arrives at Rajgad. There are rumours (likely circulated by shivAjI) that his son died on the way. (Rajasthani letter dated 19th November 1666, newsletter of the Mughal Court dated 4th November 1666). In fact, Shivaji had left his son behind at Mathura, supposedly with his ministers' brAhmaNa relatives. (Sabhasad and A.Q. Chronicles, Tarikh-i Dilkusha, etc.)
20th November 1666: Sambhaji arrives at Rajgad (Jedhe Chronology corrected.)

In an event that shook the marATha empire, the peshva nArayaNa rAv, brother of the great mAdhavarAv and vishvAs-rAv, was killed on the last day of gaNapati festival (Ananta Chaturdashi) in puNe.
According to popular legend, Raghunathrao had sent a message to Sumer Singh Gardi to fetch Narayanrao using the Marathi word dharaa (धरा) or ‘hold’ (actual phrase in Marathi - " नारायणरावांना धरा"/“Narayanrao-ana dhara”). This message was intercepted by his wife Anandibai who changed a single letter to make it read as maaraa (मारा) or ‘kill’ . The miscommunication led the Gardis to chase Narayanrao, who, upon hearing them coming, started running towards his uncles' residence screaming, “Kaka! Mala Vachva!!” (“Uncle! Save me!"). The Gardis followed Narayanrao to his uncle’s chamber and the menial Tulaji Pawar pulled him while Sumer Singh Gardi cut him down. At the scene, a total of 11 persons were killed. Historian Sardesai writes that these 11 victims included seven brahmins (including Narayanrao), two Maratha servants and two maids.
The Chief Justice, Ram Shastri Prabhune was asked to conduct an investigation into the incident, and Raghunathrao, Anandibai and Sumer Singh Gardi were all prosecuted in absentia. Although Raghunathrao was acquitted, Anandibai was declared an offender and Sumer Singh Gardi the culprit. Sumer Singh Gardi died mysteriously in Patna, Bihar in 1775, and Anandibai performed Hindu rituals to absolve her sins. Kharag Singh and Tulaji Pawar were handed over by Hyder Ali back to the government and they were tortured to death.
As the result of the murder, senior ministers and generals of the Maratha confederacy formed a regency council , known as the “Baarbhai Council”, to conduct of the affairs of the state in the name of his soon to be born son, mAdhavarAv 2.
Event occured on 1677-09-05 (gregorian). Julian date was converted to Gregorian in this reckoning.
Shivaji declared to the Dutch: ‘In the days of the Moorish [Muslim] government it was allowed for you to buy male slaves and female slaves here [the Karnatak), and to transport the same, without anyone preventing that. But now you may not, as long as I am master of these lands, buy male or female slaves, nor transport them. And in case you were to do the same, and would want to bring [slaves] aboard, my men will oppose that and prevent it in all ways, and also not allow that they may be brought back in your house; this you must observe and comply with.’
Event occured on 2006-09-05 (gregorian).

On roughly this day, several biShnoi-s died protecting khejri trees from the king’s men. The king came, apologized and turned the village into a sanctuary.
A royal party led by giridhar bhaNDArI, a minister of the maharajah of Marwar, arrived at Jalnadi village (later known as khejralI) with the intention of felling some Khejri trees that were sacred to the villagers. The trees were to be burned to produce lime for fort (some say palace) construction. A local woman called Amrita Devi protested against the tree-felling because such acts were prohibited by the vishnoi’s religion. The royal party said that they would only cease if she paid them a bribe, which she refused. She said that she would rather give away her life to save the trees. She and her three daughters (Asu, Ratni and Bhagu) were then killed by the party.
News of the deaths spread and summons to a meeting were sent to 84 Bishnoi villages. The meeting determined that one Bishnoi volunteer would sacrifice their life for every tree that was cut down. Older people began hugging the trees that were intended to be cut and many were killed. They said: ‘A chopped head is cheaper than a felled tree’ (“सिर साटै रूँख रहे - तो भी सस्तो जाँण”). Bhandari claimed that the Bishnois were sacrificing ageing people whom they no longer saw as useful to society. In response to this, young men, women and children began to follow the example of the old. 363 Bishnois (294 men & 69 women) died in the incident.
The shocked tree-felling party left for Jodhpur with their mission unfulfilled. When the Maharaja Abhai Singh of Marwar heard about this, he was filled with remorse and came to the village to personally apologize to the people. He promised them that they would never again be asked to provide timber to the ruler, no khejri tree would ever be cut, and hunting would be banned near the Bishnoi villages. The proclamation, in a tAmra-patra, is displayed in a memorial.
Later, memorials were erected in memory of the martyrs - including a cenotaph, Khejarli Shahid Sthal, Jambheshwar sathari, aka amrita Devi vishnoismariti vatika. Every year fair is take place on bhAdrapada-shukla-dashamI. To remember their sacrifice, the government declared September 11 as National Forest Martyrs’ Day.
The Khejarli story inspired another environmental movement—the Chipko Andolan (1973) in the Tehri-Garhwal Himalaya. This, in turn, spawned the Jungle Bachao Andolan (1982) in Bihar and Jharkhand, the Appiko Chaluvali (1983) in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, and other similar protests. The ‘tree-hugging’ tactic of the Chipko Andolan and its messages gained popularity in many countries beyond India’s borders, leading to protests in Switzerland, Japan, Malaysia, The Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand.

On 24 September 2002 (4:45 pm), Murtaza Hafiz Yasin and Ashraf Ali Mohammad Farooq attacked the Swaminarayan Akshardham complex at Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. They killed 30 people and injured more than 80. This was shortly after the Godhra burning of Hindu pilgrims and the subsequent riots. A priest recalled “a mother begging for the lives of her children-later identified as Priya and Bhailu Chauhan, aged three and four. The woman, Sumitra, had been running with her little boy and girl when she was felled by a bullet in the leg. The killer nodded to her pleas, then turned his gun towards the children and, to the horror of the mother, mowed them down.”
At 4:48 pm, three minutes after the attack began, Vishwavihari Swami, at the Akshardham Temple Complex, made an SOS call to Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s office and informed them about the attack. By 5:15 pm, Chief Minister of Gujarat Narendra Modi called the Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani in Delhi and asked for the National Security Guards (NSG). At 10:10 pm, two buses of NSG commandos and one bus filled with NSG equipment arrived at Akshardham. By approximately 11:30 pm, after reviewing multiple strategies, 35 Black Cat commandos positioned themselves throughout the Akshardham Temple Complex in an effort to find the terrorists. At approximately 6:45 am, the 14-hour-long ordeal ended with the Black Cat Commandos shooting the two terrorists hiding in the bushes. During this overnight search for the attackers, one state police officer and one commando lost their lives. Another commando, Surjan Singh Bhandari, was seriously injured and died in May 2004, after being in coma for two years.
The head of BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha which manages the temple, Pramukh Swami Maharaj, successfully appealed to maintain peace. Gujarat police later arrested several people, who were sentenced in 2006, but were acquitted in the Supreme Court in 2014.

After 5 years of war, as seige of purandar drew on, shivAjI met with jayasimha after obtaining personal assurance for his safety. Formally declaring his surrender into imperial service, he haggled till midnight. He strategically surrendered 23 forts out of 35 forst demanded (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). He agreed to send his son to mughals as a mansabdAr. Much of these were part of the nizAmshAhI konkan ceded to Awrangzeb by Adil shAh but captured by shivAjI.
jayasiMha did not treacherously seize or kill shivAjI - to get continued complaiance from marAThas (as per his letter to awrangzeb). Awrangzeb confirmed the treaty in a farmAn dated 5th Sep. With this, shivAjI’s secret alliance with AdilshAhi-s was broken - and shivAjI started capturing the part of Adil shAhI territory reserved for him under the treaty.
