The officials were on way to the site of the proposed memorial of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Tragedy marred the inauguration of the work on the Chhatrapati Shivaji statue in the Arabian Sea on Wednesday after a boat carrying political workers to the venue near Prongs lighthouse, roughly 2.6 km from Nariman Point.

The administration had invited a number of dignitaries including Maharashtra’s Chief Secretary, senior government officials, public representatives and journalists for the inaugural ceremony of the construction of the statue. Six boats were arranged to transport people from Gateway of India.

One of the boats carrying over 22 people left Gateway of India at around 3.30 p.m.. “The boat should not have been taken from the prongs areas because it is difficult to manoeuvre among the rocky area,” said Yogesh Naik, a reporter with Mumbai Mirror who was on the boat that capsized. According to Mr. Naik, when the rescue boat approached, people in the affected boat panicked and tried to scramble on to the other boat. “This led to the first boat turning over and one person getting caught under it,” he said.

Balasaheb Jathar, a worker of MLC Vinayak Mete — president of Shivsmarak committee which is supervising the construction of the statue — was also present on the boat. He said, “It was my first boat ride. When the accident took place, some of us did not have any life jackets. Since it was my first time on a boat, I cannot tell you whether the speed was high or low.

According to information from Coast Guard, one Vikrant Ambre, 50, was treated for swallowing water and moved to St. George Hospital, while Ashok Lodha, 53, was allowed to go home after first aid

The inauguration ceremony was cancelled after the incident. Ritvick Bhalekar, a reporter from Marathi news channel who was on the other boat said that the captain of their boat too had no idea to reach the exact location. “As a result we were stranded in the sea for over two hours. Though we were given life jackets, the situation was very uncomfortable,” he said.

Maharashtra chief secretary D.K. Jain said that Maharashtra Maritime Board will investigate the accident. MLC Jayant Patil of Peasants and Workers Party (PWP) questioned the safety arrangements and said the accident happened due to lack of planning by the government.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis assured of a thorough investigation into the incident. He thanked Indian Navy and Coast guard for averting a major tragedy by their timely action.

He is the guy who used to raid bengal and loot and kill peasants on the outskirt of the province. There were a lot of folklore we have in our text book on those bandits. People used to call them borgi.
Anyways its good that hindus found a hero to talk about.

No he never crossed Narmada in his life , how can he loot Bangal ?
First check your history .

 

[Tshering22]

No he never crossed Narmada in his life , how can he loot Bangal ?
First check your history .

It is a part of the Turko-Arabic-Persian history that they are taught. Not the real one remember.

Ask him what happened in 11th century in these three regions, he will tell you word-by-word.

Ask him about the region around his native land and all he will have is abuse for the Hindu and sister communities.

Shahaji (March 18, 1594/1602 - January 23, 1664) was the son of Raja of Verul and a general in the court of Adilshah, sultan of Bijapur. The eldest son of Maloji Bhosle, Raja of Verul, Shahaji inherited the Pune and Supe jagirs, under the Ahmadnagar Sultanate.An early exponent of guerrilla warfare, he brought the house of Bhonsle into prominence. He was father of Chhatrapati Shivaji, the founder of Maratha Empire. The princely states of Tanjore, Kolhapur and Satara are also Bhonsle legacies.

Shahaji was the son of Maratha warrior Maloji Bhosale. Maloji was a capable soldier and eventually became Sar Giroh and was awarded independent Jagir of Pune & Supe districts in the court of Nizam Shah of Ahmednagar. Maloji was childless for a long time. After seeking blessings from a Sufi muslim pir called Shah Sharif, two sons were born to him. Maloji named his sons Shahaji and Sharifji in honour of the pir. Shahaji married Jijabai,the daughter of Lakhuji Jadhav, another Maratha general in the service of Nizam Shah of Ahmednagar when both of them were children.

Shahaji samadhi (tomb) is at Hodigere near Channagiri in Karnataka

Shivaji Bhonsle (1627/1630 – 3 April 1680) was an Indian warrior king and a member of the Bhonsle Maratha clan. Shivaji carved out an enclave from the declining Adilshahi sultanate of Bijapur that formed the genesis of the Maratha Empire. In 1674, he was formally crowned as the chhatrapati (monarch) of his realm at Raigad. Shivaji's father Shahaji Bhonsle was a Maratha general who served the Deccan Sultanates. His mother was Jijabai, the daughter of Lakhuji Jadhavrao of Sindhkhed.

In 1677 Shivaji visited Hyderabad for a month and entered into a treaty with the Qutubshah of the Golkonda sultanate, agreeing to his alliance with Bijapur and jointly oppose the Mughals.In 1677 Shivaji went to Karnataka with 30,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry, backed by Golkonda artillery and funding. Proceeding south, Shivaji seized the forts of Vellore and Gingee.

Shivaji left behind a state always at odds with the Mughals. Soon after his death, in 1681, Aurangzeb launched an offensive in the South to capture territories held by the Marathas, Bijapur and Golkonda. He was successful in obliterating the Sultanates but could not subdue the Marathas after spending 27 years in the Deccan. The period saw the capture, torture, and execution of Sambhaji in 1689, and the Marathas offering strong resistance under the leadership of Sambhaji's successor, Rajaram and then Rajaram's widow Tarabai. Territories changed hands repeatedly between the Mughals and the Marathas; the conflict ended in defeat for the Mughals in 1707.

Shahu, a grandson of Shivaji and son of Sambhaji, was kept prisoner by Aurangzeb during a 27-year period. After the latter's death, his successor released Shahu.Shahu ruled the Maratha Empire from 1707 to 1749. Early in his reign, he appointed Balaji Vishwanath and later his descendants, as Peshwas (prime ministers) of the Maratha Empire. The empire expanded greatly under the leadership of Balaji's son, Peshwa Bajirao I and grandson, Peshwa Balaji Bajirao. At its peak,the Maratha empire stretched from Tamil Nadu in the south to Peshawar (modern-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) in the north, and Bengal.

Shahu and the Peshwas gave semi-autonomy to the strongest of the knights, creating the Maratha Confederacy. They became known as Gaekwads of Baroda, the Holkars of Indore and Malwa, the Scindias of Gwalior and Bhonsales of Nagpur.

Go read some book Bdeshi.
Shivaji died in 17th century and the first invasion of Bengal happened in 18th century.

The predecessor state of Tripura was founded about 100 AD. According to the Manikya dynasty derived its name from a jewel ('Mani' in Sanskrit) that had been obtained from a King Cobra. The first king who ruled the state under the royal title of Manikya was Maharaja Maha Manikya who ascended the throne in 1400.

In 1764, when the British East India Company took control of Bengal, the parts of Bengal that had been under the Mughal Empire were taken over by the British administration. In 1809 Tripura became a British protectorate and in 1838 the Rajas of Tripura were recognised by the British as sovereigns. Between 1826 and 1862 the eastern part was subject to the ravages caused by Kuki invaders that plundered and destroyed villages and massacred their inhabitants.

There were troubles in every succession among the Tripura royal family members when the aspiring princes often resorted to use the services of the Kukis to cause disturbances. Thus in 1904 the British enacted a sanad that regulated permanently the succession of the royal family. Thenceforward the succession would have to be recognised by the Viceroy of India representing the British Crown.

Bengali academics and politicians admit migration was high after in 1947, but the forebears of the Bengali migrants were essentially subjects or tenants of Tripura’s Manikya kings since the 13th century. Tripura became a princely state during British rule. The kings had sway over Hill Tippera, the hilly kingdom roughly the present area of Tripura, besides a zamindari in British India called Chakla Roshanabad or Tippera, comprising five districts of the present-day Bangladesh, then called East Bengal. These districts are Comilla, Brahmanbaria, Noakhali, Chittagong and a part of Sylhet. The kingdom’s revenue came from the resources-rich areas inhabited by Bengalis. The royalty, belonging to the largest group called Tripuri, didn’t just keep the Bengalis in the plains of Chakla Roshanabad. The Rajmala, Tripura’s royal chronicles, says the kings brought educated Bengalis to run the administration and encouraged settlement of Bengali peasants with incentives like land grants.

Tripura is often cited in the northeastern region as an example of how migration can alter the demographic pattern of the State. Census data show the population of Tripura’s 19 Scheduled Tribes dropped from 63.77% in 1881 to 31.78% in 2011. This is attributed to the migration of 6.10 lakh — the figure almost equal to the State’s total population in 1951 — between 1947 and 1971. Going by the language census of 2011, Tripura has 24.14 lakh Bengali speakers, thrice the 8.87 lakh who speak Kokborok, the language of the largest group. Unlike the NRC of Assam, where the cut-off date for excluding the putative foreigners is March 24, 1971, groups in Tripura want July 19, 1948, as the date of determining migrants as per the provision of Indian nationality laws for people who migrated from territories . The Tripura People’s Front suggested this cut-off date in its petition. The petition followed former extremist leader and chief of Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura meeting with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh.


When did the conflict begin?
King Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya (1923-1947) realised that his subjects could be outnumbered by the Bengalis and created a 2,050-square mile reserve in 1943 for the Reang, Halam, Noatia and Jamatiya tribes. This was the precursor to the Tripura Areas Autonomous District Council, total 19 other tribes. The fear of being swamped by Bengalis led to tribal extremism, first in the 1960s, and with more intensity two decades later. Groups killed 1,400 Bengalis in 1980, but counter-insurgency operations made most outfits declare truce by the late 1990s. The scars remained, so much so that NGOs pushed for switching the script of their Kokborok language from Bengali to Roman. The demand for Twipraland, a state for 19 other tribes gained ground.

Influence of the expanding Delhi Sultanate, but under the guise of its Gujarat governors called the Muzzafarid dynasty. Taking advantage of the weakened central rule owing to Timur’s sacking of Delhi in 1398, The Sultanate extended from present day Gujarat up to the northern Konkan region, having established Ahmedabad as the prosperous capital city.

The founder of the dynasty was Zafar Khan (later Muzaffar Shah I) who was governor of Gujarat under the Delhi Sultanate. Zafar Khan's father Sadharan, was a Tanka Rajput convert to Islam, adopted the name Wajih-ul-Mulk, and had given his sister in marriage to Firuz Shah Tughlaq.His son, Ahmed Shah I established the capital at Ahmedabad. The dynasty ruled for almost 200 years, until the conquest of Gujarat by the Mughal Empire in 1572.

Sayyed Peer Haji Ali Shah Dargah , The first constructions on the site date back to 1431 AD. This was when Mumbai was still an archipelago, with disparate islands separated by the turbulent sea. The arrival of the Portuguese in 1509 and their advance into the natural harbor they called Bom Bahia (good bay) began to change the face of Mumbai.
