The main authorities for the lives of Sambhaji and Rajaram are the Chitnis Bakhar, the Shedgavkar Bakhar, Khafi Khan, the Musulman works translated by Scott and known as Scott's Deccan, Orme's Fragments and the Parasnis Papers. I must also express my grateful ac­ knowledgments to Professor Sarkar's History of Aurangzeb, Vol IV, and to Mr. Irvine's translation of the Storia do Mogor. For my account of the Maratha wars against the Portuguese, my warmest thanks are due to the Goa Govern­ ment, who with admirable generosity and kindness sent me a quantity of, specially chosen books and papers on the subject. The authorities for the reign of Shahu are the Chitnis Bakhar, the Peshwa and Shedgavkar Bakhars, the Siyar­ ul-Mutakherin, the Parasnis Papers, Malleson's History of the French in India, Orme, and, above al~ Mr. Sardesai's Riyasat, Vol m The merits of this latter book are so great, its learning so profound, its style so clear, that I can only compare it with Voltaire's Siecle de Louis XIV. Mr. Sardesai's kindness, moreover, was equal to his erudition. Hearing that I was engaged in writing the present work, he placed at my disposal the proof sheets of his unpublished third volume. I can only say that words fail me when I try to express my appreciation of his noble disinter· estedness. I am also greatly obliged to the Chief of Ichalkaranj4 Mr. Dayagude, Chief karbhari of Bhor and Mr. Mahableshwar· VI PREFACE TO SECOND VOLUME kar of the Bombay Educational Department for the assistance which they have freely given me. Lastly, I have to thank Mr. C. N. Seddon, I. C. S., for his translations of Persian letters, a task which· his profound knowledge of the Persian language rendered him eminently competent to perform. • C. A. K. CONTENTS OHAl'TEB, l'AGI!:. XXIV.

It throws much light on the state of the court at the close of Shahu's reign. (Parasnis papers.) T~ Nana (Balajil and Bhao tSadashivra.o) Peshwa. After compliments, about His Highness' health, In the afternoon His Highness feels feverish and exhausted. His stomach is all covered with the juice of the marking nut (an application to relieve pain). Though His Highueos' health is so poor, the two Ranis are daily quarrelling. This so pains His Highness tljat he exdaims "It would be far better, if God would end my life!" His Highness neglects his health. He listens to no one. Govindra.o and Yeshwantrao spoke about it to His :Highness, but he. did not answer. From time to time he says "What purpose, does mr life serve ! " Last Wedne•day, Na,gojirao Keshavra.o was at the comt. Raghoram's ~en put to death a certain d,ebtor. His !Iighness heard the case and then he observed, "If my servants and guards had been involved and had put Appaji Raghunath to death, what could I have. done~ It is useless to count on my support or my power. The two Ranis are now supreme. I have no power to stop them from doing anything they want to. They have ~>aused a quarrel between the Kasal'S (bangle­ sellet'S) and the Parals (a caste). The grocers have all gone on strike and we ca.Bnot dissuade them. When the grocet'S leave the town perhaps the Ranis will give way. If we cannot gPt any grocery, the maids must cook us a dinner·but we do not want to get mixed up in the quarrels Qf the two shrews. We wanted to see Gajrabai living happily with her husband. But the elder Rani threatens her son· in-law. From this her behaviour towards other;; may be judged. We have become po'werless." These were His Highness' words. In short His Highness is powerless ,against his Ranis. Such is the state of things here. For the last three or four d~ys the money-lender;; are visiting the palace. "We are bankrupt" they &bout, ,, We want OUI' money.

  • Maratha Empire
    Maratha Empire It is the people of the country that define that country. There are many empires and dynasties in India that are a part of India’s rich and varied history. These empires and dynasties have undoubtedly played a major role in the betterment and development of India as a country. They have contributed in making India what it is today. They are our nation’s pride, which we as citizens ought to celebrate, respect and remember, for they have made us who we are today. One such empire is the grandiose and large Maratha Empire. The Maratha Empire as a consolidated Empire ruled over a large portion of the Indian subcontinent from the 18th century. It formally began ruling as a consolidated power under the rule of Chhatrapati Shivaji who ascended the throne in 1674. He was of the Bhosale dynasty. This great sovereign is considered by historians to be the founder of the Maratha Empire. Chhatrapati Shivaji revolted against the Adil Shahi sultanate of Bijapur as well as the Mughal Empire. His goal was to free the Marathi people and establish a separate Hindu Kingdom for them, which was based on the lines of self- rule. Later, he started consolidating lands under his control and established a kingdom with its capital as Raigadh. By the time of his death, his kingdom had about 300 forts, 40,000 cavalry, 50,000 foot soldiers and powerful naval establishments all over the west coast. Thus, he founded the Maratha Empire, and laid the base for it to become one of the greatest Empires India has ever seen.

The battle of Plassey (1757) followed by that of Buxar (1764) gave the Company access to the revenues of the subas of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa and a subsequent edge in the contest for paramountcy in Hindustan. Control over revenues resulted in a gradual shift in the orientation of the Company‟s agenda – from commerce to land revenue – with important consequences. This chapter will trace the development of the Company‟s rise to power in Bengal, the articulation of commercial policies in the context of Mercantilism that developed as an informing ideology in Europe and that found limited application in India by some of the Company‟s officials.
