==Biography==
Shejwalkar was born in Kasheli, a village in [[Rajapur, Maharashtra|Rajapur]] Taluka of [[Ratnagiri]] district. He passed matriculation examination in 1911 from a school run by the Aryan education society. Later he completed a [[Bachelor of Arts]] at [[Wilson College, Mumbai]].<ref>Introduction by G D Khanolkar to the book "Tryambak Shankar Shejwalkar- Nivadak Lekhsangrah", 1977, Pages:1-34</ref>

His first job was in military accounts department from May 1918 to June 1921. He worked in [[Deccan College (Pune)|Deccan College]] from August 1939 until 25 May 1955. Despite his retirement, he continued to work at [[Deccan College (Pune)|Deccan College]] until his death.

He was associated with [[Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal]] from 1918 onwards. There he came in contact with other historians like [[Datto Vaman Potdar]], [[Govind Sakharam Sardesai]] and Dattopant Apte.

==Professional history==
Shejwalkar primarily wrote in the [[Marathi language]], and was the founder-editor of now defunct Marathi periodical ''Pragati'' (1929–1932). Shejwalkar was also the Reader of Maratha History at [[Deccan College (Pune)|Deccan College]] from 1939-1955. Shejwalkar's topics included historical, sociological and contemporary issues ranging from [[Vijayanagara Empire]] to [[Mahatma Gandhi]], [[Marathi language|Marathi]] speaking poet-saints to decay of [[Vedic Brahmanism|Brahminism]] and the work of [[Arnold J. Toynbee]].

Shejwalkar claimed that he ghostwrote [[Govind Sakharam Sardesai|G S Sardesai]]'s book "Nanasaheb Peshwa".<ref>Introduction by G D Khanolkar to the book "Tryambak Shankar Shejwalkar- Nivadak Lekhsangrah", 1977, Page:12</ref>

His biggest regret at the time of his death was that he could not complete the biography of [[Shivaji]].<ref>Introduction by G D Khanolkar to the book "Tryambak Shankar Shejwalkar- Nivadak Lekhsangrah", 1977, Page:26-33</ref>

===Essays===
Shejwalkar wrote essays on life and work of [[Swami Dayananda Saraswati]], [[Mahadev Govind Ranade]], [[Kashinath Trimbak Telang]], [[Swami Vivekananda]], [[Gopal Ganesh Agarkar]], [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak]], [[Lala Lajpat Rai]], [[Bhagat Singh]], [[Shivaram Rajguru|Rajguru]], [[Sukhdev Thapar|Sukhdev]], [[Vishwanath Kashinath Rajwade]], [[Shridhar Venkatesh Ketkar]] among many others.

===Third Battle of Panipat===
Shejwalkar was the first historian to study [[Battle of Panipat (1761)|the Third Battle of Panipat]] in great detail, personally traveling to all places relevant to the battle. He argues that the battle was fought to save the [[Mughal Empire]] and that the [[Maratha]]s were sacrificed for the cause of [[Timur]]'s successors. He further argues that if [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] had shown willingness for similar sacrifice, India may not have been divided in 1947.
