What this episode covers

The House of Bhonsle (or Bhonsale, Bhosale, Bhosle) to which Shivaji Maharaj belonged to, is a prominent Indian Marathi imperial house. They claimed descent from the Rajput Sisodia Dynasty. Rajputs on the other hand, according to some historians, have this habit of trying to find a Rajput link with anyone who is brave and fearless. It wasn’t any different with Shivaji as well.
