Explanation

Shivaji was the patriarch of the mighty Marathas and he was enthroned in 1674. The Marathas waged a longish war against the Mughals for 27 years from 1671 to 1707. Further, they successfully continued fighting against the Mughals until the Third Anglo-Maratha War (1805-1818), which left them vanquished.
