Hauma,
I recently read that Shahaji had written a letter to Ali Adil Shah II (of Bijapur) in 1656. In the middle of this letter complaining of the terms of his service, he says "I have served several kings, but always maintained my self respect. We are rajputs" (As quoted in Stewart Gordon: Page 88: The Marathas 1600-1818 who in turn quotes Ithihas Manjari by D.V. Apte, Poona 1923 )
Does anyone know what is Apte's source?
