Jahangir and Nur Jahan | 1605CE - 1627CE | Al Muqaddimah

The great Mughal Emperor Jalal ud-Din Muhammad Akbar died in 1605. He left behind a fairly secure empire that could largely run on its own without much intervention from the sovereign. This was a very different empire than the one Akbar himself had inherited from his father, Humayun. Since its founding in 1526, the Mughal Empire hadn’t been on solid ground until Akbar restructured it. With Akbar’s death, his son Salim ascended to the throne with the title of Jahangir.

I visited Nur Jahan's tomb in Lahore in 2013. The tomb is just 100 metres down the road from the tomb of her husband, Jahangir. One thing people forget about her is that she was an excellent Persian poet. On her grave, you can find this poem: "On the grave of this poor stranger, let there be neither lamp nor rose. Let neither butterfly’s wing burn nor nightingale sing." She was a very humble person and that poem is her saying that she wanted a humble burial. Her tomb is the size of a small house whereas Jahangir's tomb is so big people use it like a municipal park. That should give you an idea of the difference of personalities.

[@PakBallandSami]

Nur Jahan possessed great physical strength and courage. She often went on hunting tours with her husband, and was known for her marksmanship and boldness in hunting ferocious tigers. She is reported to have slain four tigers with six bullets during one hunt. According to Sir Syed Ahmad Khan this feat, inspired a poet to declaim a spontaneous couplet in her honor: "Though Nur Jahan be in form a woman, In the ranks of men she's a tiger-slayer" - Unknown Poet

Bajirao won the Battle of Delhi in 28 March 1737, and looted and plundered cities and villages nearby, but he didn't siege Delhi and retreated later on, because his army was exhausted fighting and marching all the way from the Deccan to Delhi, and he did not have equipment and artillery for sieging the impressively fortified city of Delhi, plus he had also heard of a Mughal army being assembled from Punjab.

A correction:- Both Maloji and Shahaji served under Ambar, When his father died in the early 1700s, Shahji was already a minor commander under Malik Ambar.

[@anirudh177]

@@lerneanlion If Shahaji and his father were as capable as Ambar, they perhaps could have resisted more, but this is speculative history, in the end if the Mughals simply dry them out of resources through constant war, they could lose. Although the possibility of the Marathas entering the stage strong early on is possible here, but perhaps the Maratha state would've never existed since Shivaji's rebellion was because he felt dissatisfied with Bijapuri/Mughal/Ahmdenagari service due to what he felt was less pay than he deserved. Now Maloji and Shahaji were capable men, but as far as I know they weren't particularly better or as good as Ambar or Shivaji at guerilla warfare and resisting Mughals.
