At the beginning of seventeenth centuary AD, most of the territory was in the possession of the Nizamshah of Ahmednagar and the Adilshah of Bijapur. In the coastal belt of Konkan, there were two sea powers --- the Portugese and the Siddi. The British and the Dutch also had their factories on the coast. There was constant conflicts among these. These conflicts had led to instability and insecurity in Maharashtra.
