Q: Why can I not add "Shri", "Chhatrapati", or "Maharaj" to Sambhaji's name?
A: As per WP:Honorifics and WP:Commonname, in Wikipedia, we refer to people by their commonly used name in the cited academic sources. We do not include titles or Honorifics unless they are commonly used in the cited sources (Shambaji does not fall in this category). Please note Charles III, where he is referred to as "Charles" throughout, not "King Charles" nor "His Royal Highness" or whatnot. We clearly note Sambhaji's titles in the article, we just don't repeat them each time his name is written.
Q: Why does it say "addiction to sensual pleasures"? I do not like that!
A: That is exactly what the cited source says, and other sources note allegations that he behaved inappropriately with a Brahmin woman, or may have committed some other offense. Suffice to say, for whatever reason, Shivaji confined him to Panhala. If you know of an alternate theory for that confinement, and have a reliable source, you can add that as an alternative theory, but you cannot simply remove that explanation unless you have very strong evidence that such story is obsolete according to modern scholars.

Dear sir or madam,
Chatrapati Sambajaji was captured due to his close Brahmins. As the solid proof from Martin's diary is sufficient along with rest of the available proofs at the government of Maharashtra, currebtly with the Pooratatva Vibhag. According to the current historical documents, the close Brahmins of Sambahji Maharaj not only assisted to capture Smabhaji Raje multiple times but also vindicated the closest relatives of Sambahji Maharaj that is his wife Maharajni Yesubai & her brother & family Shirke. So much so that all power control was shifted to Bramhins & maratha was mis used & saturated in Pune in the hands of Peshwa. Until Maratha empire lost its armed navy & shortly everything at the feet of British empire. The reference number 32 ignore all these facts, also the letter from Government of Maharashtra that "the historical department has no proof against Ganoji Shirke for helping Mughal army. not to mention that Ganimi Kawa was very important to Shirke & Bhosale family. There many Shirke family member spies had changed their names & lived near the toorps of the Mughal army. However history was written by upper cast Bramhins therefore had been unkind to Ganoji Shirke, blamed Yesubai's brother; in fact the close Brahmins of Sambahji Maharaj betrayed the Chatrapati on many occasions, where Anna hi Datto & his close associates were found guilty more than once; hence beheaded by Sambahji Maharaj. Killing a bramhin had been considered the greatest sin the ancient India, therefore all the close relatives of Anna ji Datto & supports planned to take revenge of Chatrapati Sambhaji. Neither the Bramhins at the time supported Shivaji Maharaj during his coronation nor support his elder son Sambahji. In the end these bramhin families were able to behead Chatrapati with the help of Mukkabar Khan, the Mughal army general appointmented by Emporer Aurangzeb.

Hello Avnesh.rajeshirke, only martin's diary cannot be considered as a reliable proof. There should be a secondary supporting reference for it. Therefore I have removed the information regarding Martin's diary in capture and execution section. Mahusha (talk) 14:11, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
