: Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar is well known as the architecture of the Constitution of India. But I believe that Ramji Maloji Ambedkar, father of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar was the architecture of the life of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. He took many efforts to give education to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. Every father should take a lesson from this book that if you want your child like Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar then you must become Ramji Maloji Ambedkar first. I believe that this book will act as a guideline towards taking care of our children so that they achieve success in their life. There are many books available on the life of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. But books on the personality of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's father, are very rare. That is why I wrote this book to the readers know more about his father, Ramji Maloji Ambedkar. I'm sure readers will love this book. In this book, readers will know about the efforts made by Maloji Ramji Ambedkar to shape the life of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. Despite the social situation being contrary to education, Ramji Ambedkar motivated his son, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar to get the education. The child who had to sit outside his classroom for education wrote the constitution of the same country. This is a supernatural act done by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, behind which his father Ramji Maloji Ambedkar has been a great contributor and I have written this book to highlight the same contribution. I hope that this book will be liked by all readers.

Maratha Swarajya, 1663: The dream of a kingdom of the people envisioned by Raje Shivaji, is crumbling. There are enemies to the North, and to the South. The constant attacks have ravaged the Swarajya’s armies and depleted its treasury. The Mughal Subhedar Shaistekhan, sits encamped with his occupying army in the Maratha’s ancestral city – Pune. All hope seems lost. Merely driving Shaistekhan out of Pune is not going to be enough. To survive, Raje must replenish the Swarajya’s treasuries and rebuild its armies. A hundred kos to the North lies the city of Surat, a hell-hole of corruption and guile, but rich with gold. An attack on Surat would solve all Raje’s problems. But Surat lies deep in Mughal territory, defended by Mughal Subhedar Inayat Khan, with a garrison of five thousand trained troops. The Swarajya’s hope of survival now depends on a seemingly impossible mission. The brunt will be borne by the Guptachar corps, led by Bahirji-Naik, and their new apprentice, Shashidhwaj, a mere boy of sixteen, using everything they know, to achieve fatteh. Can the Guptachars lead Raje’s army to Surat, negotiating such a vast stretche of hostile Mughal territory? Can they devise a way to beat the defenders of the city? Above all, can the Maratha Swarajya prevail? Or will it be destroyed like the hundreds of others who dared stand against the mighty Mughal Empire?
