Baji Prabhou<br />

Author’s Note<br />

This poem is founded on the historical incident of the<br />

heroic self-sacrifice of Baji Prabhou Deshpande, who to<br />

cover Shivaji’s retreat, held the pass of Rangana for two<br />

hours with a small company of men against twelve thousand<br />

Moguls. Beyond the single fact of this great exploit<br />

there has been no attempt to preserve historical accuracy.
