The Maratha–Portuguese War of 1683–1684 or Sambhaji's Invasion of Goa[1][2][3] refers to the Maratha invasion of the Portuguese-controlled portions of Goa and Bombay areas of Konkan.[4] The conflict between the Mahratta Confederacy and the Portuguese in Goa and Bombay; continued on various fronts in between 1683 and 1684.
The Portuguese had maintained relations with the Marathas under Shivaji, in order to check the Deccan Sultanates. In 1682, two years after the death of Shivaji, Sambhaji started arming & fortifying the border along Portuguese territories. The concerned Portuguese then aligned themselves with the Moghals.
Bassein theatre[edit]
Between April and May 1683, the Marathas invaded Portuguese Konkan in the north and plundered Portuguese-controlled towns and villages at Dahanu, Asheri, Trapor, & Vasai (Bassein). Sambhaji's Peshwa Nilopant Pingle devastated, plundered and occupied 40 miles of Portuguese territory including the villages of Chembur, Talode, Kolve, Mahim, Dantore & Sargaon.[citation needed] Mahrattas also temporarily occupied some forts around Bassein and Damaon.[5]
Chaul theatre[edit]
The Brahmin Peshva Nilopant Pingle kept the pressure on Chaul. The Marathas plundered the villages in July 1683. On 10 August 1683 they sieged Chaul with 2000 horsemen and 6000 infantry in the siege of Chaul.[6] On August 18, they attempted to storm the fortress, however they were repulsed.[7]
