What to Focus On

  • Jijabai acts as Regent of the Marathas in Shivaji’s absence.
  • The letter about Shivaji’s death comes from Agra, but Jijabai rejects it as a hoax.
  • Jijabai does not trust Aurangzeb and believes false promises were made to Shivaji through Jai Singh.

  • Jijabai combines the heart of a mother with the mind of a ruler.
  • Shivaji appears brave, clever, and deeply loyal to his people.
  • Ram Das is a poet and Shivaji’s teacher and companion.

  • Motherly love is shown through Jijabai’s concern for Shivaji and Sambhaji.
  • Leadership means protecting both the state and the feelings of people.
  • A ruler must keep soldiers loyal, happy, and hopeful.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Jijabai believes the letter is true because it came from Agra.

Jai Singh himself made the promises directly to Shivaji, so Aurangzeb is not involved.

The third sadhu is just a normal holy man who does not speak because he is shy.
