Statement 1: Inaccuracies Explained
Statement 1 asserts that Shivaji established administration in his Swarajya based on Deccan Sultanate models and that taxation was very light.
- Shivaji's administrative framework drew upon indigenous traditions and unique innovations, rather than being solely modelled after the Deccan Sultanates.
