Want to know how Historians distorted Maratha History?
Nayikabheda of Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja is on the various Nayikas, which are Thematic embodiments shown as female "Heroines" in Hindustani & Deccani paintings.
A basic student of mediaeval Indic culture knows that.
Historians literally concocted propaganda that these Nayikas were actually women whom Dharamveer used have intercourse with!
With ZERO trace of evidence.
& these were not malevolent Anti-Maratha historians, but even great Marathi historians like Parasnis made such presumptions!
Nakhashikha is a religious Tantric-Shakt Bhajan on Radha Devi describing her entire iconography from Nakha (Nails) to Shikha (Hair-Bun). Asinine Historians turned this into some sexual paen!
Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja NEVER composed ANY erotic poem in personal regard at all!
Parasnis & Kincaid *imagined* that Kavi Kalash was "intoxicating" Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaj under his influence through Opium addiction and other methods.
NOT a shred of evidence exists for that.
NOT a shred of evidence exists for Chattrapati being drunk except Khafi Khan.
Only time Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja consumed alcohol was during ONE Shakta Ritual.
NEVER for recreation!
Huhrremjyādā British-Knighted Sir Padunath Sarkar was such a buffoon that he used to believe ALL Vamchara/Tantra involves Shav Sadhana (Corpse Worship) and intercourse!
Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja only performed ONE (successful) Tantric Putra-Kāmeshti Yajna in his entire life. ONLY ONE.
Paramanand Kavya of Govinda Nevaskar never calls Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaj impotent (he had many daughters), but huhrremjyādā Padunath Sarkar still lies.
Out of nowhere Jadunath concocts fake propaganda against Chitpavan Konkanastha Brahmins, using Jotiba Phule-Era rumours.
Putrakameshti Yajna is beautifully described in text Ansha-Avataram Anupurana (Paramanandakavyam) as a very pious, technical ritual, yet Padunath maligned it.
