About Author
Shamsher Bahadur was the son of Maratha Peshwa Bajirao I and his second wife Mastani. Bajirao wanted Shamsher Bahadur to be accepted as a Hindu Brahmin, but because of his mother's Muslim ancestry, the priests refused to conduct the Hindu upanayanaceremony for him. His education and military training was conducted in line with other sons of the Peshwa royal family, even though Maratha nobles and chiefs didn't recognize Mastani as a legitimate wife of the Peshwa.[1] After the death of both Bajirao and Mastani in 1740, Shamsher was taken into the household of Kashibai, Bajirao's first wife, and raised as one of her own.
