In Swarjyarakshak Sambhaji, we have loved watching Sambhaji’s reign in the Deccan region. Walking on his father’s footsteps, Raje fought numerous battles with his queen, Yesubai by his side. They both, as the monarchs of Swarajya, never failed to impress us with their empathy and their ability to win the hearts of the masses. In Raje’s absence, it was Yesubai who became the face of Swarajya. So, we decided to tribute Ranisaheb for her efforts which hardly gets credited.
Watch an episode of Swarajyarakshak Sambhaji below:
1. Yesubai is more than Sambhaji’s wife. She is regent to the throne in his absence, which means she has to take care of Raje’s responsibilities when he is gone on a war. Yesubai knows the baggage which comes with this prestigious title and takes it seriously.
2. Yesubai’s intelligence and alertness is unparalleled. It is because of her attention to the details, Sambhaji was able to save Raigad against Shabdik Khan’s attack. She understood that there is a scheme going on behind their backs and bravely uncovered it.
3. Yesubai signifies strength. When Raje was in South India fighting against Chikka Devaraya, Yesubai decided to march in a battle against Swarajya’s enemies. She, not even for a second, hesitated to pull the sword out of its sheath and put on the armour without fearing. Prior to that, Yesubai, when she was pregnant with Bal Raje, went to meet Sambhaji who she thought was injured.
4. Yesubai maybe a fierce lioness, but she is equally tender to her loved ones and the masses. Her maternal love knows no bounds. We saw the way she treated Narsu Patil’s wife, who is just a commoner. She became her daughter and didn’t hesitate to wear a simple garb as averse to her royal saree.
5. Yesubai is loyal as nothing you have ever seen. She stands by her father-in-law, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s principles before passing the judgement over anything.
What do you think about the above qualities of Yesubai? Let us know in the comments your favourite trait of hers.
