Govyatil Kille – गोव्यातील किल्ले

ByMahesh Tendulkar

The number of forts in Goa state are less than that of the forts in Maharashtra. The geographical location, political importance and fortifications are noteworthy of these forts. They are located along the blue sea, some are built on headlands and some are built on the banks of rivers. All the forts that survive today are fine examples of Portuguese fort architecture. The low ramparts, the slightly sloping triangular shaped towers, the bartizans at the ends of the towers and the cannons are all the glory of the fort. Therefore, the book Govyatil Kille written by history researcher Mahesh Tendulkar should be in the collection of fort lovers. The Marathi English Portuguese mini dictionary given at the end of the book deals with fort terms.

They leapt into prominence suddenly and swiftly, but the rapid expansion of their empire was arrested by the defeat at the third battle of Panipat on 14 January 1761. Unfortunately, the authentic, comprehensive and analytical scholarly accounts of this momentous battle are woefully short in number. This work in the Marathi language fills the gap. Specifically, this monograph provides the in-depth information on the following topics for the first time :

– Why did the Marathas position their artillary on top of the Jama Masjid in Delhi?
– What was the total expenditure of Sadashivrao Bhau?
– Sadashivrao Bhau’s valor while in conversation with the Afghan diplomats
– The Kohinoor diamond would have been in Pune, if …
