This book describes the various policies decided by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and how Ahilyabai Holkar has followed them. Ahilyabai Holkar created a new identity in the society as an equal through her actions. Every action of ours should be for the development of the society was the only obsession of his life. Although they were religious, they were opposed to undesirable customs and traditions.
Taking the role of liberating the Bahujan society from religious, social and economic exploitation, the mother of the nation not only put forward the idea that people have the right to live as human beings, but also put it into practice. Not only religious but by encouraging the qualities of artists, he brought art to the kingdom in his kingdom. It is no wonder that the British diplomats who spread the fame of the Holkar family in India with their achievements, philanthropy, architecture, love of justice, patriotism, diplomacy, ideal state and even the Himalayas should be envious of their achievements. Out of respect for her achievements, a British young lady ‘Mrs Jona Bali’ wrote a long poem on Matoshree.
The career of Malharrao Holkar’s daughter-in-law Ahalyabai Holkar left an indelible mark on the history of not only the Holkar dynasty and the Marathas, but the entire history of India.
