The serial seems very well m ade so far with great actors and content unlike CN which cannot keep me glued with its lack of stroy line despite a great actor they have roped in.

You are welcome and welcome to Peshwa Bajirao forum. 😊
If you have missed any episodes, Planck has shared links of all episodes on her thread.

Wow you listen to Shivkalyan Raja when doing exercise.

So far going well 😆

had read 'Swami" of Ranjit Desai who was grand son of bajirao
liked him a lot he died early but done a lot in short pan
had read 'Rau' (which bajirao called by family) by na sa imnamdar but din't like bajirao character much coz he hurt kashibai
but here they are showing as warrior so started watching
did not "Shreeman Yogi" but watch marathi serial 'Raja Shivchatrapati" which is one of most n best fav. historical show

Hey Marathi Mulagi 😊 You are welcome
I have read Swami too. I think after Bajirao Peshwa, it was Madhavrao who was the most accomplished and achieved a lot. He died of Rajyakshma (or TB) quite young.

I have not read Rau. My 3 most favorite historical books are Shriman Yogi, Mrutyunjay and Swami in that order. I have read Babasaheb Purandare's book on Shivaji Maharaj too.

If you liked Swami, I am sure you will love reading Shriman Yogi. I watched that serial too I used to love its title song done by Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar.

You are welcome Diksha 😊 I am sure you have read it many times before.

I don't even remember how many times I have read Shriman Yogi, from start to finish or just random chapters as per mood.

You are a fast reader 😃
Eagerly waiting for your post after reading the book again.

Hi Maddy...Long time 😃

Nice post...I was born n brought up in Mumbai, n in our times, Maharashtra state board was more prominent than the current scene where the 2 central boards have made a strong takeover...😆

The reason why I m mentioning Maharashtra state board is, that here, our history text books comprised of only Shivaji's tales...We were so much into Shivaji syllabus, that it was a common slang in those days, that whenever somebody wanted to give up an argument, it was like, "OK baba...You are Shivaji"...Which translates into, "you are the ultimate"...

Even to date, my bros n I say this to each other, while our kids look at us confused, n wonder what's wrong with us 😆

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was and always will be God in Maharashtra...👍🏼

Btw, PB is progressing very well with a strong script n a talented star cast 👍🏼

Hi Khushi 😃 yes long time, 2 years after JA
Thanks. Born and brought up in Mumbai, then I guess you would be knowing Marathi. They do have some dialogues in Marathi in PB.
So far so good! Hope it stays this way, they have maintained a nice balance of political with Baji's upbringing.

Ok, you are Shivaji! What a wonderful saying, must try to use it 😆

Hi all!!

This is my second post on the forum!

I am predominantly from Rajasthan and a lover of historical fiction/shows. Thanks a lot MaddyO for sharing this beautiful piece of excerpt from the book.

I always feel that the cbse course (where i studied) from doesn't teach us much about the Maratha or south Indian history which is much more rich and I am always curious about.

Honestly, it was Sanjay Leela Bhansali and then this series because of which I tried reading up about all this on google. I would love if someone could share nice historical fiction books which also speak about the personal lives of these rulers.

I am responding to you as i feel i can understand where you are coming from. I too, have followed Rajasthan history for a long time. And felt the same as you when i tried to delve into South Indian history. In the starting, the most problematic thing for me was to understand the complex relations and the politics of dynasties. Its almost 2 years now and i am at ease with it.

Most of the books about these rulers are present from a political point of view. We have to pick up the anecdotes about their personal lives from these political narratives. Very rarely a book deals with the personal life.

About Shivaji there is a Marathi book called Shriman Yogi (as mentioned earlier in this thread). But its English translation is out of stock. You can check the address given on Page 2 / 3 of this thread.

But about Bajirao there is a fantastic book called - "Rauu" . The author calls it historical fiction but even then it is regarded as a great book. He has researched before writing this "novel". It is related to Bajirao and Mastani and i feel this should be read. Till now, this was available in Marathi only, but now this has been translated in English too, just few months back. Search on Amazon with keywords - " Rau : translated by Vikrant Pande " . You can also read some sample pages there.

Whoever starts to read about Bajirao is recommended this book only ( i was also recommended and many members here too, have mentioned this. ) Rest of the books which i have read are mostly political narratives. Wars. Battles. etc. "Rau" comes most close to describing his personal life, i feel. :)

@Maddy
I have posted my views about Shivaji on your thread made for the purpose. Great to read this post. :)
