Mouse of mountains

                                             Mouse of mountains

This name was given to Shivaji from his enemies.
Shivaji was the king of Marathas. He was against Mughals who were in hold of northern India. The story of Aurangajeb , a mughal king and Shivaji is well known.
Shivaji was following guerrilla techniques when he had to fight. As he was ruling a kingdom which had abundant forests and mountains , Shivaji was very expert in using guerrilla techniques .
He was surrounding the enemies in an unexpected manner . When the enemies were ready to start fight, Shivaji and his army were vanished in a fraction of second !
Shivaji had youths from the tribe Malavas , who are well known of forests and also could fight in an unexpected way. Thus, he was called by his enemies by the name mouse of mountains .
