The past history of the Mughal expansion into the Deccan since the days of Akbar, was a warning to him. The imperial policy of annexing the whole of South India was unmistakable to Shiva as to Adil Shah or Qutb Shah. Its completion was only a question of time, and every Deccani Power was bound to wage eternal warfare with the Mughals if it wished to exist. Hence Shivaji lost no chance of robbing Mughal territory in the Deccan. - [Previous: c19.s6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1919.c19.s6.4) - [Next: c19.s6.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1919.c19.s6.6) - [Up: c19.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1919.c19.s6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1919.c19.s6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1919.c19.s6.5) · Pramāṇa
