Solution
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj levied octroi on the salt trade to stop the British trade of salt.
Explanation:
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had foreseen the ulterior motives of these foreigners and their ways of infiltration. He built up strategies to arrest their advances in India. The immediate measures taken by him in this direction included the creation of a strong naval force and the construction of sea forts. He levied octroi on the British salt trade as a measure to protect the local salt trade. Thus, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj adopted a very strong policy against the European colonizers.
