The Maratha monarch Chh Sambhaji had devised an audacious plan to march Northward to capture the Moghul capital of Delhi itself and dethrone Aurangzeb in the early 1680s.

In the early 1680s, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj had formulated a plan to collaborate with Durgadas Rathore and the Moghul prince Akbar to march Northward through Gujarat, join forces with Ram Singh Kachhawa of Jaipur and attack the Moghul capital of Delhi itself, in order to dethrone Aurangzeb and "end" the persecution of Hindus under his rule. He wrote a letter to Ram Singh, specifically in Sanskrit, conveying his plan. However, Ram Singh Rajput, being a loyal Moghul servent, never reciprocated, and this plan never materialized unfortunately.
