Book Description

About the Book "Peshwa Bajirao I and Maratha Expansion" by V.G. Dighe, with a foreword by Sir Jadunath Sarkar, provides an in-depth analysis of Peshwa Bajirao I's role in the Maratha Empire's territorial expansion. The book explores Bajirao's strategic military campaigns and diplomatic maneuvers that significantly shaped 18th-century Indian history. It also delves into his visionary leadership and the socio-political impact of his conquests, presenting a comprehensive account of his contributions to the Maratha Empire's ascendancy.

About the Author-1 V. G. Dighe, a historian, is renowned for his expertise on Maratha history. His work, including "Peshwa Bajirao I and Maratha Expansion," offers detailed insights into the Maratha Empire's growth and its key figures' military and strategic prowess. About the Author-2 Sir Jadunath Sarkar, CIE, FRAS (1870-1958), was a distinguished Indian historian specializing in the Mughal dynasty. Educated in English literature, he later focused on history research, writing extensively in English. Sarkar served as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calcutta (1926-1928) and was knighted in 1929. His rigorous historiography and profound knowledge of Persian made him one of India's greatest historians, compared to Theodor Mommsen and Leopold von Ranke.

Foreword In the long and distinguished galaxy of Peshwas Baji Rao Ballal was unequalled for the daring and originality of his genius and the volume and value of his achievements. He was truly a Carlylean Hero as King -or rather as "Man of action." If Sir Robert Walpole created the unchallengeable position of the Prime Minister in the unwritten constitution of England, Bajirao created the same institution in the Maratha Raj at exactly the same time. And yet no worthy study of such a career was writ-ten in English before this volume, and indeed no full and correct history of Bajirao could be written before 1930, in which year the vast mass of Peshwa State Papers (in Marathi) preserved in the Poona Daftar began to be published and a few years later Chevalier P. S. Pissurlencar and Dr. Braganza gave to the world the invaluable original documents of that time in the Portuguese language, and the Jaipur Maharaja's archives were ransacked yielding the best raw material for the history of the Maratha penetration into Northern India during those years, mostly in the Persian language. Before that date our knowledge of this great Peshwa and his times had been confined to Grant Duff's book composed a century and a quarter ago at the dawn of Maratha historiography, which was supplemented merely by the Persian sources on some special campaigns used by Irvine in his Later Mughals and some Marathi historical letters printed by Parasnis (viz. the correspondence of Brahmendra Swami) and Rajwade (relating to the Janjira Campaign).

Preface The Marathas, a war-like people, inhabit the western part of the Deccan. Their early history is lost in dim antiquity. From the 5th century onward rose mighty kingdoms in the land, the Chalukyas, the Rashtrakutas and the Yadavas which knit the Marathas into a homogeneous people. Under the aegis of these native dynasties the Marathas attained prosperity beyond measure: they developed their free institutions, built lovely temples, perfected their language and enriched their literature. After that for four centuries the tide of Islam swept every thing before it. Alauddin Khilji's warriors carried the crescent to the southernmost corner of India and with the fall of the great Vijayanagar empire in 1565 under the hammer-blows of the Deccan sultanates, disappeared the last vestige of independent Hindu power in the south. Islam became triumphant throughout the length and breadth of this land. The defeats of their armies in the field, the destruction of centuries-long dynasties and the ruin that follow-ed in the social structure of society, brought on the child-ren of the soil a feeling of despair and deep frustration and created in their mind a sort of inferiority complex that they were no match for the foreign invaders, that they were in no way worthy to administer their affairs and that it was wise to reconcile themselves to the change of rulers and bend to the wishes of their new masters. It is to the glory of the Marathas that they were the first to shake off this intellectual paralysis and strike boldly for the libera-tion of their homeland.
