The popular history of the Maratha Empire, in the hands of political ideologues, often runs aground shortly after the celebrated reign of Chhatrapati Shivaji. Everything that follows — a period defined by the struggles for survival of the Swarajya — is frequently obscured, if not outright distorted. Dr Jaisingrao Pawar, who passed away on 26 March in Kolhapur at the age of 84, dedicated his life to excavating that overlooked era, presenting facts to society based on truth and reality, and remaining undeterred by criticism.
