The video covers the period from Shivaji's death in 1680 to the division of the Maratha states after Aurangzeb's death in 1707. It details Sambahji's rise to power, his military campaigns, and the Mughal response under Aurangzeb. The Mughals' focus on the Deccan sultanates led to the sieges of Bijapur and Golconda. After Sambahji's execution, Rajaram took over, leading to the prolonged siege of Jinji. Tarabai's leadership saw a Maratha resurgence despite Mughal advances.
