ARTICLES RELATED TO Maratha | | | |  Maratha: Encyclopedia II - Maratha - Communities and clansAs mentioned above, the term "Maratha" refers exclusively to a certain group of marathi-speaking castes and clans. While most ruling chiefs and warriors of the maratha empire belonged to this social group, certain other marathi-speaking communities essayed important roles in the affairs of that empire. Certain brahmin families were prominent among these, including:
The Peshwas, who held de facto power during the heyday of the empire, under the nominal authority of the maratha Chhatrapatis;

| | | | Maratha: Encyclopedia II - Maratha - Historical prominence
The Marathas have contributed a glorious chapter to the history of India. They first came into historical prominence under the leadership of Chhatrapati Shivaji in the 17th century. Shivaji Maharaj, born into the Bhonsle clan of marathas, secured an independent state by dint of lifelong struggle and thereby founded an empire, the remnants of which lasted until the independence of India in 1947. The state thus founded by Chhatrapati Shivaji attained its zenith under the tutelage of the Peshwas in the 18th century, extending from the Indus in ...

| | | | Maratha: Encyclopedia II - Maratha - Etymology Several theories have been proposed by various scholars for the etymology of the words "Maratha" and "Marathi". One theory holds that a reference to a clan known as "Rāshtrika" in some of Ashoka's inscriptions alludes to a people of the deccan who were progenitors of the marathi-speaking (and maratha) people; that the later "Mahārāshtri" Prakrit, a dialect of Sanskrit, is associated with these people; and that the word "Marāthi" is a derivation of the word "Mahārāshtri". This theory does not address the deeper root of the word "Rāshtr ...

| | | | Maratha: Encyclopedia II - Maratha Empire - Shivaji's Successors In 1681, Sambhaji, one of Shivaji's two competing sons, had himself crowned and resumed his father's expansionist policies. To nullify any Rajput-Maratha alliance, as well as to resume his long relations with the Deccan Sultanates, in 1682 the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb himself headed south with his entire imperial court, administration, and an army of about 180,000 troops which proceeded to conquer the sultanates of Bijapur and Golconda. In 1688, Sambhaj ...

| | | | Maratha: Encyclopedia II - Maratha Empire - The Decline of the Empire The Peshwa sent an army to challenge the Afghans, and the Maratha army was decisively defeated on January 13, 1761 at the Third Battle of Panipat. Their internal feuding cost them greatly in this battle. The battle checked Maratha expansion, prevented the capture of Delhi, and encouraged the fragmentation of the empire. Even today the phrase in Marathi, "meet your Panipat", has a similar meaning as the phrase "meet your Waterloo" does in English.
After 1761, the confederacy dissolved into five autonomous Maratha states. The Maratha_co ...

| | | | Maratha: Encyclopedia II - Mughal era - The Marathas The tale of the Marathas' rise to power and their eventual fall contains all the elements of a thriller: adventure, intrigue, and romanticism. Maratha chieftains were originally in the service of Bijapur sultans in the western Deccan, which was under siege by the Mughals. Shivaji Bhonsle (1627-80), a tenacious and fierce fighter recognized as the "father of the Maratha nation," took advantage of this conflict and carved out his own principality near Pune, which later became the Maratha capital. Adopting guerrilla tactics, he waylaid caravans ...
