  • Chapter 3* Expansion of Maratha Power (1720—1740) Shahu
    CHAPTER 3* EXPANSION OF MARATHA POWER (1720—1740) SHAHU. Pesva Baji Rav I. BALAJIS ELDEST SON BAJI RAV SUCCEEDED HIM in the Pesvaship on 17th April 1720. The training and experience gained under his father’s tutelage and the responsibility of office early matured the Pesva’s character and gave him a poise and ample grasp of affairs. A much more vigorous personality, he quickened the pace of events. The energies of his people that were being wasted in petty disputes and Civil War he directed into fresh channels and carried Maratha arms into Hindustan. With a statesmanship of high order he combined military leadership suited to the genius of his people and under him the Marathas made rapid progress. During his father’s life time he had seen enough of the Moghal Darbar to convince him of its weakness. The parties anxious to dominate at the court were bidding against each other for Maratha co-operation and the new Pesva was too shrewd not to perceive the advantage such a situation gave him. He realised early, as few of his contemporaries appear to have done, that the Moghal empire was rushing to its doom and that it was time for his people to march into Hindustan and seize supreme power instead of remaining confined to the narrow limits of their Deccan homeland. His early victories secured his position at home, increased his resources and confidence and in 1728 his armies burst into Central India. With Rajput help he secured a safe base in Malva for his plan of Hindu-pad-Padsahi which became the watch-word of Maratha policy and animated all Maratha activities in the years to follow.
