The brief summary of the completed chapters are given below: Chapter – 1 Introductory chapter discusses the outline and aims of the study. It discusses while studying history, era of Shivaji and Peshwa are supposed to be the most important reign in the history of Maratha Power was planted in the reign of Shivaji and it was grown in the form of tree in the reign of Peshwa. The First four Peshwas shaped it in to imperialistic state. During the reign of shivaji, position of King was not given by hereditary. From the period of Shahu, position of Peshwa remained with only same dynasty. Bhat disguised in the Maratha power in the form of peshwa and it remained with that dynasty till to the end. Generally, the period from 1713 to 1818 is considered to be the period of peshwa. During this period most of the peshwas have shown their political diplomacy and administrative skill. They brought glory to the Maratha power by defeating the enemies from south and North. In the reign of Chattrapati Shahu Balaji Bajirao alias Nanasaheb Peshwa supposed to be the third Peshwa. In this era, he established vast empire which was never established before. During the span of 21 years Maratha had committed blunders. We find these blunders in the events o Raghuji Bhosale, Tulaji Angare and Panipat. He was known as skilled administrator. He gave financial stability by adopting the economic policies of agriculture, industry and land revenue system. This research work sought to analyze the economic and administrative policies of Nanasaheb Peshwa. In the history of Maratha’s, era of Peshwa has got immense importance. This era is considered to be the period of expansion of Maratha power. It began from 1713. It should be considered as revolution. Peshwai actually transformed from pingale dynasty to Bhat dynasty. Peshwa founded Pune as capital of Maratha. Pune has got importance, due to the peshwa. All the credit goes to peshwa dynasty. Educational, Social, Cultural, industrial development took, place due the the efforts of Peshwa. The Social life of Maharashtra was affected, due to the economic, Social, political and religious policies of peshwa. Generally the period of peshwai is considered from 1713 to 1818. During this period many peshwas showed diplomacy. They expanded the Maratha power. They established Maratha power in South & North India; with this point of view, it is necessary to study the policies implemented by the peshwa. Pune considered as cpital for political diplomacy of Peshwa. Nanasaheb Peshwa strengthened this capital with diplomatic way, instead of the power of sword. While expanding the Maratha power they also gave rise for the new dynasty. They used Maratha soliders for the freedom and security of their own and established their strong Maratha power. They established power for the security, from north enemies like Nijam, Haidarali & Nawab. They also grabed one fourth part of their power. Even they also fought against Jat & Rajput in the north and brought glory to the Maratha power, so this period or era has got immense importance in the history of Maratha power. During this period it becomes essential to study the different facts of the personality of Nanasaheb Peshwa alias Balaji Bajirao. During the span of Nanasaheb Peshwa, expansion of Maratha power was so vast that never happened in the history of Maratha. He was skilled administrator than the solider. He was known as diplomatic in the history of Maratha power. The political power of Peshwa occupies twenty year of long period, which began for 1740-1761. During this span of 21 years Nanasaheb Peshwa acquired faith of chatrapathi Shahu. He attacked the four major provinces during the period of 1740-1748. These places were as following (1) Malwa (2) Bhelasa (3) Newai (4) Bengal. The responsibilities of the North campaign was shouldered to his brother Raghunathrao Alias Raghobadada. During this expedition, Raghunathrao was assisted by many Maratha soliders like shinde and Holker. During the period of 1740-1748 queen Tarabai and Umatai Dabhade from Dabhade dynasty compplainted Against Nanasaheb Peshwa. Nanasaheb Peshwa was suspended from the position of Peshwa. After seeing the loyaiity of Nanasaheb, Chatrapati Shahu restored to him on the position of Peshwa. During this period he had also committed certain mistakes like destruction of military camps of Angre, betray with Raghuji Bhosle and the result was the rise of powerful British power. During this period, another important event took place and that was the third battle of Panipat. In this battle there were loss of human lives. Nanasaeb inherited the qualities of his if father but was lacking the qualities of warfare. He was diplomat, had quality to know others, and he was social so, he expanded the Maratha power from Delhi to shrirangpattanm and from Bengal to Gujarat. He was diplomatic. He signed pact with Sambhaji Second from Kolhapur and Chatrapati Shahu, because they had no sons for their dynasty. So wit adopton 1 point of view this pact has got immense importance. So, it is very essential to study the economic policies of Nanasaheb Peshwa han his political and social contribution. With above discussion researcher, Proposes to study facts of te economic policies and personality of Nanasaheb Peshwa with critical view.

  • The Maratha Empire of Pune and the Peshwas: an Overview
    Science, Technology and Development ISSN : 0950-0707 The Maratha Empire of Pune and the Peshwas: an overview *Dr.Ramya.K.R. Assistant Professor, Department of History, Government First Grade College ( Autonomous ), Gubbi. Abstract This paper attempts to study how Peshwas who were all ministers who served as the chief executives to the king and later held the highest administrative office and also controlled the Maratha empire . Maratha confederacy, alliance formed in the 18th century after Mughal pressure forced the collapse of Shivaji’s kingdom of Maharashtra in western India. After the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s death (1707), Maratha power revived under Shivaji’s grandson Shahu. He confided power to the Brahman Bhat family, who became hereditary peshwas (chief ministers). He also decided to expand northward with armies under the peshwas’ control. In Shahu’s later years the power of the peshwas increased. After his death (1749) they became the effective rulers. The leading Maratha families—Sindhia, Holkar, Bhonsle, and Gaekwar— extended their conquests in northern and central India and became more independent and difficult to control. The effective control of the peshwas ended with the great defeat of Panipat (1761) at the hands of the Afghans and the death of the young peshwa Madhav Rao I in 1772. Thereafter the Maratha state was a confederacy of five chiefs under the nominal leadership of the peshwa at Poona (now Pune) in western India. Though they united on occasion, as against the British (1775–82), more often they quarreled. After he was defeated by the Holkar dynasty in 1802, the peshwa Baji Rao II sought protection from the British, whose intervention destroyed the confederacy by 1818.

  • Chapter I the Establishment and Consolidation of the Baroda State a Historical Perspective
    CHAPTER I THE ESTABLISHMENT AND CONSOLIDATION OF THE BARODA STATE A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE 2 CHAPTER I THE ESTABLISHMENT AND CONSOLIDATION OF THE BARODA STATE: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The Baroda State was one of the most important and strongest States of India in the first half of the 20th century. It was impor­ tant in all respects because of the work and efficient administration of Sir Sayaji Rao III and the valuable support of his ministers, the first of wham was Sir Raja T. Madhavrao. To understand the administra­ tive structure of the Baroda State (1881-1939) it is necessary to trace its origin, know its previous rulers and administration. Historically speaking the origin of the State is to be found in the period of the disintegration of the Mughal Empire (1658-1707) and the rise of the great Maratha rule under the great leader Shivaji and his descendants, the kings of Satara. In 1644, Shivaji, the founder of the Maratha Empire attacked Surat against the Mughal Empire with a view to getting wealth, establishing the Maratha Empire and acquiring booty. This was the first contact of the Marathas with the people of Gujarat. Again Shivaji invaded in 1670. This invasion was no more than a raid, but it served to bring Marathas into the State. After the death of Aurangzeb (1707), the Marathas started to interfere directly 3 in the affairs of Gujarat. The frequent and glorious achievements of Shivaji and the Maratha generals like Khanderao Dabhade, the Marathas laid their foundation in Gujarat. In 1705, he over-ran Gujarat {then a Mughal Dominion) and imposed a tribute upon the inhabitants, particularly in the region of Sorath in Kathiawad.

  • Chapter-Ii Formation of Baroda State and Its Pre-Modern Basis
    CHAPTER - II FORMATION OF BARODA STATE AND ITS PRE - MODERN BASIS CHAPTER - II FORMATION OF BARODA STATE AND ITS PRE - MODERN BASIS The collapse of the Mughals’ central authority in the early eighteenth century led to the loss of political stability in Gujarat. The provincial governors began to exercise power rather independently and often undermined imperial expectations. Non - compliance with imperial orders contributed to political chaos and confusion. To continue in power, the go vernors resorted to forging alliances, political manipulations and military force. Since the 1720s, each succeeding governor of Ahmadabad displaced his predecessor militarily from office. 1 The unstable political situation in Gujarat encouraged the Marathas to participate in race. They soon emerged more powerful than the rest and the Marathas got a share in the land revenue ( chauth literally one - fourth). 2 The Marathas , too , were politically fragmented and some warrior families such as those of Dabhade, Gaekw ad, Sindhia, Holkar and Bhonsle, were only nominally under the control of the sovereign and the Peshwa. These warrior groups came to form complex political factions which was fluid in nature insofar as their allegiance to and support of some major politica l players was concerned. From the second quarter of the eighteenth century, the Gaekwad ruled over Gujarat and controlled the fiscal resources of the region. Initially, the Marathas adopted the strategy of invading, roving and taking possession of the regi on or otherwise at least forcing the local governors to surrender a part of the revenue of those regions. Mughal imperial control was gradually pushed back to some major cities and forts such as Ahmadabad and Broach.

But all these states were primarily regional political entities interested in promoting their own growth. They had no political or national outlook. Some of these states like Bengal, Hyderabad and Awadh–became for all practical purposes independent owning a nominal allegiance to the Mughal Emperor. The Sikhs and the Jats made successful bids for political power. The Marathas profited more than any other people of India with the fall of the Mughal Empire. They established a mighty empire extending from the Punjab to Mysore. ---------------------------♦---------------------------- HYDERABAD In 1737 he was summoned by Muhammad Shah to save the Mughal Empire from the Maratha menace.
