Sambhaji Raje had kept Aurangzeb on the run for nine consecutive years. Sambhaji Maharaj took the throne on 16 January 1681, hence 16 January is celebrated as Sambhaji Raje's Coronation Day. Sambhaji Raje fought 201 wars in his short reign and one of the main things about it is that his army was never defeated in a single battle. Impressed by his valour, Aurangzeb swore that he would not put a kimono on his head until Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje was captured. Finally, on 11 March 1689, Aurangzeb brutally murdered Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.

The Soviet Space Program was a rocket and space exploration program conducted by the Soviet Union from the 1930s until its dissolution in 1991.

In recent times, every country in the international community has become more economically dependent on other countries. Since the economies of all countries are on the path of internationalization, if an economic crime is committed in one country, it will also affect another country. Because all countries are members of the World Trade Organization. All countries are subject to the same economic and trade rules. That is why India had consciously raised this issue in the G20 meeting in the past. Those countries should immediately send back to their homeland the criminals who commit economic crimes from one country. Because this can happen to every country. Since this is not the case today, the confidence of these criminals has increased a lot. Especially, a country like Britain is becoming a paradise for criminals. Criminals from many countries commit economic or other crimes and flee to England. Then it takes years for their extradition. In 1992, an extradition agreement was signed between England and India and it came into force in 1993.  

1996-                                                                                                                                                              Hubble Space Telescope scientists claim to have discovered more than 100 new galaxies in space.  Scientists at the Hubble Space Telescope claimed to have discovered more than 100 new galaxies in space on this very day, January 16, 1996. 

2003-                                                                                                                                                          Indian-origin Kalpana Chawla embarks on second space mission. Kalpana Chawla of Indian origin left for her second space flight on this day, January 16, 2003. The whole world is witnessing the remarkable achievement of an Indian girl. Kalpana Chawla fulfilled her dream of becoming an astronaut by going to America. The American space agency NASA selected her for space travel twice. Kalpana had launched into space for the second time in the Space Shuttle Columbia. Unfortunately, this flight turned out to be her last. Because her spacecraft crashed on February 1. After a 16-day space mission, she returned to Earth and died along with six other crew members.

2006-                                                                                                                                                          Socialist leader Michelle Bachelet was elected Chile's first female president on January 16, 2006.
