Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Mahrattas Tiie want Of a complete history of the rise, progress, and decline of our immediate predecessors in conquest, the Mahrattas, has been long felt by all persons conversant with the affairs of India; insomuch that, it is very generally acknowledged, we cannot fully understand the means by which our own vast empire in that quarter was acquired until this desideratum be supplied. The difficulty of Obtaining the requisite materials has hitherto deterred most of our countrymen from venturing on a subject where the indefatigable Orme has left his Fragments as a monument of his research, accompanied by an attestation of the labour which they cost him. The subsequent attempt Of Mr. Scott Waring proved not only the difficulties Of which Mr. Orme's experience had warned us, but that, at a period comparatively recent, those who had the best opportunities Of collecting informa tion respecting the Mahrattas were still very deficient in a knowledge Of their history. Circumstances placed me in situations which at once removed many of the obstacles which those gentlemen encountered, and threw materials within my reach which had been previously inaccessible nevertheless, the labour and the expense requisite for completing this volume can only be appreciated by those who assisted me in the design, or who have been engaged in similar pursuits in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power of India reached its pre-British Raj height under the Maratha Empire or the Maratha Confederacy which was an Indian imperial power that existed from 1674 to 1818. At its peak, the empire covered much of India, encompassing a territory of over 2.8 million km2. The Marathas are credited for ending the Mughal rule in India. The Marathas were a yeoman warrior group from the western Deccan that rose to prominence during the rule of the Adil Shahi dynasty and Ahmadnagar Sultanate. The empire was founded by Shivaji Bhosle, who formally crowned himself Chhatrapati ("Emperor") with Raigad as his capital in 1674, and successfully fought against the Mughal Empire. The Maratha Empire waged war for 27 years with the Mughals from 1681 to 1707, which became the longest war in the history of India. Shivaji, pioneered "Shiva sutra" or Ganimi Kava (guerrilla tactics), which leveraged strategic factors like demographics, speed, surprise and focused attack to defeat his bigger and more powerful enemies. After the death of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, the empire expanded greatly under the rule of the Peshwas. The empire at its peak stretched from Tamil Nadu in the south, to Peshawar (modern-day Pakistan) on the Afghanistan border in the north, and Bengal and Andaman Islands in east. In 1761, the Maratha army lost the Third Battle of Panipat to Abdali’s Afghan Durrani Empire, which halted their imperial expansion. Ten years after Panipat, young Madhavrao Peshwa reinstated the Maratha authority over North India. In a bid to effectively manage the large empire, he gave semi-autonomy to the strongest of the knights, which created a confederacy of Maratha states. In 1775, the British East India Company intervened in a succession struggle in Pune, which became the First Anglo-Maratha War. Marathas remained the preeminent power in India until their defeat in the Second and Third Anglo-Maratha wars (1805–1818), which left the British East India Company in control of most of India.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches in the House of Commons, on the War Against the Mahrattas Ever since I have known any thing of Indian affairs, I have found that the prevailing disease of our governments there has been a rage for making war. The strong, though ineffectual remedies, which have from time to time been ap plied to this disorder, are a sufficient proof of its existence. That individuals may find their ao count in the conduct of such wars, I do not mean to dispute; but I deny that they are or can be for the benefit of the India Company, or the na tion, particularly in the present circumstances of the Company's affairs. In these circumstances, and in actual possession of half the peninsula. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
