LAND OF THE MARATHAS, WESTERN INDIA, 17TH CENTURY
For the first time in over three centuries, the Maratha homeland has seen one of its own sons crowned as a sovereign King. The coronation of Maharaj Shivaji Raje Bhosale as the first Maratha Chhatrapati, has added a new political power in the Deccan, and changed the course of Indian history.
Chhatrapati Shivaji expands his holdings, first along the west coast, and later along the east coast of the Indian peninsula, in systematically planned and brilliantly executed military campaigns that leave both the Adilshahi and the Mughal Empire dumbfounded. In a year-long campaign into the Adilshahi Karnatak, the Chhatrapati first befriends the Qutubshah, then annexes an entire district, as well as his father’s former estates, subduing his rebellious half-brother. He returns victorious, having changed the political, social and economic future of the South. The true impact of this phenomenal campaign will be felt years after his death, when Aurangzeb launches his final war against the Marathas, and these southern lands provide a safe haven for the Chhatrapati’s younger son.
Following his return from this whirlwind campaign, the Chhatrapati struggles to come to terms with his own health, and family strife. Troubled by the growing discord between his eldest son, Sambhaji, and his chief wife, Soyarabai, as also the widening chasm between Sambhaji and his ministers, he loses hope that his beloved Swarajya will hold its own after his demise.
Finally, with no solution to the domestic crisis in view, Chhatrapati Shivaji, the extraordinary man, who inspired millions to rebel against bigoted foreign rulers, and established a free state for his people, breathes his last and passes into Legend.

About Author
Gautam Pradhan is a doctor by profession, specialized in the field of Radiology. He lives in Thane, a rapidly growing metropolis near India’s financial capital Mumbai.
Gautam was educated in Thane and Mumbai. He completed his post-graduate degree in Radiology in 1996 and has been in private medical practice, in Thane, since the last 17 years. Reading history and visiting historical places and monuments is one amongst his many passions; the others being wildlife photography, music and movies.
Gautam always believed he had a very imaginative mind, which for long had been caged in the restrictive confines of the medical profession. He aspired to be an author, and, in keeping with his interests, historical fiction is the genre that he has attempted to explore.
‘300 Brave Men’ is his first novel and he has worked on it for close to eight years now. This book isn’t merely his attempt to get his name in print. Rather, it has been a very emotional journey for him. To tell the story of the one person he reveres the most in this world, has been his dream for years.
This current project is a trilogy. The second book in the series is titled "Lord of the Royal Umbrella" and the third is titled "The Legend". Together, the three books cover the life and career of the great Indian hero Chhatrapati Shivaji.
Even after this current trilogy is published, Gautam plans to continue writing on History, Mythology and Philosphy.
