Many Indian heroes emerged during these dark times , including the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh and also the Hindu Maratha king , Shivaji Maratha who led the resistance against this tyranny and eventually led to its defeat by the late 1700s after centuries of death and destruction.
Shivaji Maratha was indeed, from a military perspective, a great warrior king. He revived Hinduism in the parts of India that he had conquered. Nevertheless; at the same time he brutalized and exploited poor Hindus with his various tax collection schemes. This was worse than their former Muslim rulers had imposed on them.
