Satara Taluka
Satara (pronunciation) (ISO: Sātārā) is a city located in the Satara District of Maharashtra state of India, near the confluence of the river Krishna and its tributary, the Venna. The city was established in the 16th century and was the seat of the Chhatrapati of the Maratha Kingdom, Shahu I.

It is the headquarters of Satara Tehsil, as well as the Satara District. The city gets its name from the seven forts (Sat-Tara) which are around the city. The city is known as a Soldier's city as well as Pensioner's city. The city had a population of 179,147 in 2011.

History

The first known Muslim rule of the Deccan took place in 1296. In 1636, the Nizam Shahi dynasty came to an end. In 1663, Shivaji conquered Parali and Satara fort. After the death of Chhatrapati Sambhaji(Son of Chatrpati ShivajiMaharaj) Shahu, heir apparent to the Maratha Kingdom, was captured by Mughals when he was only seven years old. He remained their prisoner until the death of Aurangzeb in 1707.

The Dowager Maharani Tarabai proclaimed his younger half-brother, and her son, Shahu Sambhaji as Chhatrapati Maharaj under her regency. Mughals released Shahu under certain preconditions in 1707, so that Marathas would face an internal war for the throne. Shahu returned to the Maratha Kingdom and claimed his inheritance.

Aurangzeb's son Muhammad Azam Shah conquered Satara fort Ajinkyatara after a 6-month siege, later won by Parshuram Pratinidhi in 1706. In 1708, Chattrapati Shahu, the son of Chhatrapati Sambhaji, was crowned at the Satara fort. The direct descendants of Shivaji continue to live in Satara. Chhatrapati Udayanraje Bhonsle is the 13th descendant of Shivaji.

Satara was the first state to be annexed by British Governor-General Dalhousie’s policy of ‘Doctrine of Lapse’ in 1848.

A shadow government was established during Quit India movement in Satara.

Modern history

In 2023, a communal clash in Satara's Pusesavali village stemming from a social media post led to one death and nineteen injuries. The victim, Nurul Hasan, was reportedly unconnected to the social media posts in question.
