He was the founder of the Gaekwad dynasty of rulers of the princely state of Baroda.<\/p>\n<p>Shivaji was the founder of the Maratha Empire. He was a Hindu warrior king who fought against the Mughal Empire. He is considered to be a national hero in India.<\/p>\n<p>Peshwa Baji Rao I was the first Peshwa, or prime minister, of the Maratha Empire. He was a brilliant military strategist and expanded the Maratha Empire to its greatest extent.<\/p>\n<p>Sambhaji was the son of Shivaji. He was a brave and capable ruler, but he was captured and killed by the Mughals in 1689.<\/p>\n<p>Pilajirao Gaekwad was born in 1673 in the village of Bagalkot in the present-day state of Karnataka.

He became a trusted general of Shivaji and was involved in many of his campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>After Shivaji&#8217;s death in 1680, Pilajirao continued to serve the Maratha Empire. He fought against the Mughals and other enemies of the Marathas. In 1721, he led a successful raid on Gujarat.
