This map is alleged to show the extent of the Mughal Empire around the year 1700. Now, considering the fact that Shivaji died in 1680 and that many Hindu powers existed all over India maintaining differing levels of sovereignty, how accurate is this map? Why does it show all green? My guess is, not at all accurate. I would like to know from people knowledgeable of this period in history to post about what Hindu powers ruled with absolute sovereignty in this time frame. Please also post the boundaries of their rule. Have to re-do the map and edit the article.
