Bakhars are a distinctive form of historical writing that flourished in medieval and early modern Maharashtra, particularly during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Written mainly in Marathi prose with occasional poetic passages, they narrate the lives of rulers, military campaigns, administrative developments, and significant political events. Although they often contain exaggerations, legends, and sectarian biases, Bakhars remain valuable historical sources for reconstructing the history of the Maratha state and the socio-political conditions of the period. One of the major contributions of Bakhars is that they preserve detailed accounts of political events. They describe the rise of the Marathas, the expansion of Shivaji's kingdom, conflicts with the Mughals, Bijapur, and other regional powers, and the achievements of various Maratha rulers. These narratives provide chronological sequences of important battles, treaties, and diplomatic relations that help historians reconstruct political developments. Bakhars are especially important for understanding the life and career of Chhatrapati Shivaji.
