Why didn't the Marathas overthrow the Mughals & take Delhi? Why didn’t they avenge Panipat? This falsehood is often promoted by peace-fools A thread on how Marathas captured Delhi 4 times and held it for over a 100 years!
1) 1719 - First capture. Under Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj & Peshwa Balaji Vishwanath a campaign was launched on Delhi with the support of Sayed Brothers and Maharaja Ajit Singh Mughal Emperor Farukhsiyar was dethroned and puppet Rafi Ul Darjat was appointed
@itihasika So we see the distorted version of Maratha history on Wiki pedia ?
@itihasika "..Marathas captured Delhi 4 times and held it for over a 100 years!" That means they lost Delhi 3 times. After they took it the 1st time they should have retained control forever.
