Samadhi of Tarabai Bhosale Gravest Apathy

Notice the condition of the Samadhi (at Mahuli in Satara district of Maharashtra) of Tarabai Bhosale, the queen who resisted Mughal attacks many times, herself leading armies to battle and because of whom Maratha Empire survived the awful crisis from 1700 to 1707! She was the daughter-in-law of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and the queen of Chhatrapati Rajaram Bhosale. Her tale of valor is described in #SaffronSwords 

Yes, tombs of invaders are well taken care of, well maintained, but Samadhis of the warriors of the soil is kept in neglected condition! Thanks to an organization that will take care of the Samadhi site. But this will happen after 72 plus years of independence from British rule!

Tarabai Bhosale ruled the Maratha Empire from 1700 until 1708 as the Queen Regent as the heir to the throne Shivaji II was a minor when the king died. After the death of Rajaram Bhosale, Mughal attacks on Maratha supremacy continued. But Tarabai Bhosale dealt it with an iron hand. She herself led her army into the battlefield and successfully fought against the Mughal forces. According to Jadunath Sarkar, a prominent Bengali historian, it was because of the administrative genius and strength of Tarabai that the Maratha Empire survived the awful crisis from 1700 to 1707 — when Mughals tried their best to occupy Maratha territories, but in vain. She valorously defended her territories. But we have never been taught in our history textbooks about the unflagging courage and indomitable spirit of this brave daughter of Bharat Mata.
