  • Maratha Empire the Maratha Empire Dominated a Large Part of the Indian Subcontinent in the 17Th Century
    Maratha Empire The Maratha Empire dominated a large part of the Indian subcontinent in the 17th century. The empire formally existed from 1674 with the coronation of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj and ended in 1818 with the defeat of Peshwa Bajirao II at the hands of the British East India Company. This article will give further details about the Maratha Empire within the context of the IAS Exam. Origins of the Maratha Empire The origins of the Maratha Empire can be traced back to a series of rebellions led by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj against the rule of the Bijapur Sultanate and later the Mughal Empire. Based on the principle of Hindawi Swarajya, he carved out an independent Maratha ​ ​ kingdom with Raigad as the capital. In 1674, he was crowned Chhatrapati (sovereign) of the new Maratha Kingdom after ​ ​ successfully defending it from Mughal incursions. At the time of his death, the kingdom was defended by a series of forts and well equipped naval establishments. By the time of his grandson’s rule in the early 18th century, the kingdom had increased its size and transformed into a full-fledged empire. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (born on February 19, 1630) was succeeded by his eldest son Sambhaji (also known as Shambhu Raje) in 1681. He continued the expansion policy of his father defeating the Portuguese and Chikka Deva Raya of Mysore to expand his borders. These developments were alarming enough for Mughal Emperor Aurangazeb (born on 3rd November 1618) to launch an expedition against the Marathas. In the 8 years of wars that followed, Shambhu Raje (born on May 14 1657) fought Aurangzeb all along the Deccan region, never losing any battle or his forts.

  • CHAPTER 3 CHILD BRIDE and WIFE for a Hinju, Maniage Is A
    CHAPTER 3 CHILD BRIDE AND WIFE For a HinJu, maniage is a Sarriskara or a sacrament. A Hindu marriage is looked upon, as, something which is more of a rehgious dut\’ and less of a physical luxury. A Vedic passage says that a person, who is unmvirried is unholy From the religious point of view he remains incomplete and is not fully eligible to participate in sacraments. This continues to be the view of the society even today; the practice of keeping the bet el nut by one’s side in the absaice of tlie wife is an example of this belief. Marriage according to the Shastras is the holy sacrament and the gift of the daughter, (Kanyadaan) to a suitable person, is a sacred duty put on the father, after the performance of which the father gets great spiritual benefit. Marriage is binding for life because the marriage rite completed by Sapkipadi (walking seven steps together) around the sacred fire and is believed to create a religious tie which once created cannot be dissolved. The object of marriage was procreation of children and proper performance of religious ceremonies. Marriage is not perfonned for mere emotional gratification and is not considered as a mere betrothal. Its context s religious, and it is not a mere socio-legal contract. The bride on the seventh step of the Saptapadi, loses her triginal Goira and acquires the Gotra of the bridegroom and a kinship is created that is not a mere friendship for ileasure. Therefore, a marriage Was regai ded as indissoluble. A marriage does not become invalid on the ground that it is effected during the minority of either the ride v^r the groom.

Bahadur Shah II, being the last emperor of India, was also called ‘Badshah’ or ‘Shahanshah-e-Hind’. By the time Bahadur Shah Zafar ascended the throne, the area under Mughal rule was drastically reduced, as were the emperor’s powers, symbolic and otherwise, and thus he was ultimately known only as the ‘King of Delhi’.

  • CHAPTER V III at the Beginr.Ing of the Year 17^ I the Third and the Last
    CHAPTER V I I I riiiiiAT'f 01* At the beginr.ing of the year 17^ i the third and the last phase of the first imglo-Maratha War started. In this phase the war was not limited to the conflict between the British and the larathas only. Due to the quadruple a lli­ ance among the Peshwa, the Nizam, 'Audhoji Bhonsale and Haidar id i, ttxe nnglo-i^aratha Aar became an all-India war, which was fought in the Konkan, Gujrat, Karnatak, Central India and Orissa. By the end of 1761, the hostilities between the Marathas and the British stopped temporarily. In August 17^1, peace negotiations between the two parties began, which after prolonged discussions and hot debate, >iltimately resulted in the conclusion of the treaty of Salbai in 1752, bringing to an end the first Anglo-Mar a th a ..ar which lasted for eight years from 17/i^ to 1782. It would be interesting to study the various circum­ stances leading to the opening of peace talks between the British and the Marathas culminating in the iYeaty of Salbai. The quadruple a llia n c e Ahich came in to e x iste n ce at the end of the year 1779, brought all the major Indian powers together a g a in st the B r it is h .

  • The First Anglo-Maratha War Is One of the Most Important Events of the If
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The first Anglo-Maratha War is one of the most important events of the If^th century from the point of view of history of India in general and of the Marathas in particular. It covers the period of about a decade after the murder of Narayanrao Peshwa in August 1773. The war was precipitated by the political asylum offered by the British to Raghunathrao Peehwa alias Raghoba at Surat and the wanton British attack on the fort of Sashti (Salsette) in December, 177i». These two actions of the British led to a chain of some major battles and minor encounters between the Marathas and the British^which were fought on a very wide area in .lalawa, Gujarat and i^aharashtra (Konkan and Khandesh). These battles and encounters con­ stitute what is known as the first Anglo-Maratha War. The native powers like the Nizam and Haidar All were dragged into the War at a later stage, but the roles they played in it were subsidiary. The main contenders were the Marathas and the British. The V.ar which started in December 177i»,ended with the treaty of Salbai in 17^3. Every war has two main aspects, political tdiplomatic) and military. So far, the political (diplomatic) aspect of the first Anglo-i^aratha Var has been exhaustively studied by two scholars, Dr. Shanti Prasad Varraa and Dr. Shailendra Nath Sen. While the former’ s book entitled Study in Maratha Diplomacy^ analyses mainly the diplomatic aspect of the first Anglo-Maratha ^ar, giving secondary importance to the military aspect, the latter has concentrated only on its political aspect in his book ^Anglo-Maratha Rela­ tions During the Administration of Warren Hastings, 1772- 17^5"^.
