History of India, 1659 AD, Shivaji defeated Adilshahi troops at the Battle of Pratapgarh

The Battle of Pratapgarh occurred in 1659 AD between the Maratha forces led by Shivaji and the Adilshahi troops.

Shivaji and his Maratha forces had been fighting the Mughals and the Adilshahi rulers for many years in order to establish an independent Maratha kingdom.

In the Battle of Pratapgarh, Shivaji was able to defeat the Adilshahi troops, who were led by Siddi Jauhar, a powerful Adilshahi general.

The Marathas used guerrilla tactics such as ambushes, surprise attacks and hit-and-run raids during the battle.

Shivaji's forces managed to capture several of the Adilshahi's fortifications, including the fort of Pratapgarh.

The Marathas were also able to capture many of the Adilshahi's artillery pieces, which they used to strengthen their own forces.

The victory at Pratapgarh was a major turning point in the Marathas' struggle for independence, as it showed that they could successfully fight against a much larger and better-equipped army.
