Before Shivaji, Marathas were disorganized band of soldiers, who were employed in different princely states, Shivaji’s father, Shahji, was commander of Bangalore of Adil shah empire of Bijapur. Shivaji sought independence from Mughal rule, and Aurangzeb wanted to hold his empire, In my opinion, shivaji was great tactician and leader of people who inspired generation of Hindus and Aurangzeb was brilliant general though he inspires many orthodox muslim because of his Islam rather than his

so its basically a freedom fight? Was Deccan part of Mughal empire before Aurangzeb?
