The Maratha Confederacy, was a Hindu state located in present-day India. It existed from 1674 to 1818. At its peak, the empire's territories covered 250 million acres (1 million km²) or one-third of South Asia. Maratha Mughal wars, Bhakti movement. Chhatrapati.
Here is a newer version of this video on the Marathas I have recently made.
ua-cam.com/video/--Ly9qdkQ1Y/v-deo.html
You did totally a false information video. Marathas lost Panipat means Marathas never reach beyond to Delhi. You also cought in false constructed Indian history.
Bro ur channel is so underrated...i dont know why u don't have million sub
Sir pls make one on Babri masjid
hey bro do a video about chola empire (1000 ad) at their peek
Please call him chatrapati shivaji maharaj not shivaji
I am a South Indian and I salute the Marathas for the way they deal with their fellow human beings. Jai Shivaji!
You dumb bro they were savages even by standards of those days
Another fun fact: their prime minister Baji Rao I never lost a battle among his 41 battles that he fought. The best cavalry warrior.
Pradeep Choudhary yea Sure
Don't trust these videos.
Sponsored by foreign intelligence agencies and Judeo-Christian organisations.
Sikh Empire never existed until Marathas had driven out Afghans out of Punjab and eclipsed the Mughal Empire.
Had Raghunath Rao led Maratha army against Ahmed Shah Abdali instead of Vishwas Rao and Bhausaheb, Marathas would have won 3rd battle of Panipat.
Family Politics dominated Peshwa family and this led to decline of Maratha Empire.
Falsified are being promoted by UA-cam videos.
White European Jews aim at defeating Hindu nationalism.
This is a fake, Anti Hindu video.
Visalakhi , i am impressed that you know them. By the way, congrats , you are one of the few rare hindus who has been able to get the gist of the wider ocean like voluminous truth. We should get in touch.
@@visalakshimahadevan612 you are a moron. There was no way raghunath rao could have defeated abdali singlehandedly. Marathas like now were very jingoinst and chauvinistic back then (apprehensive of other hindu rulers _ Rajputs, Sikhs, jats and in South )
So when abdali came no body sided with rao and was trampled easily.
The maratha history is very small less than 100 years and effective rule lasted for 40 years. This again was made possible when Aurangzeb died and mughals became weak.
The "Valorised maratha history" is to instill a sense of identity and pride by upper caste Marathi political elite in marathas . This identity crisis is because maharashtra like South India does not have middle castes like North India in large no and its culture is neither purely Aryan read North India nor Dravidian read South India. This produced in Marathi elite in 1850s a sense of cultural identity crisis though they were better off compared to other states in terms of secular indicators. So the elite straw picked history and Valorised shivaji to create a distinct identity different from north and south This started with leaders like Tilak from 1885 which was mixed with Hinduism (the seed of Hindutva was sown). That's why Hindutva frenzy originated by RSS in Maharashtra which remains its citadel even now. And now it has become political.

I really appreciate the depth of the video.
I am a Chipavan Brahmin. Even My ancestors served Chatrapati in Konkan Region against Sawant of Sawant wadi. Sawant family used to be a true boot lickers of Portuguese.
bc me bhi maratha hu yarr, kya baccho jese ladre ho... gaye zmane.. kisko kya pata .... we are all indians now thats it

Im pritam sarang my ancestors was a naval commandar of shivaji maharaj....
@@agneshsawant8055 lol guess what, we already had good looks lol. It is you sawant who were the boot lickers of Portuguese occupation.
Matter of fact is that majority of 96k maratha were against the Chatrapati. Ghorpade, Morey, Sawant and even Nimbalkar. It is the Chitpavan and Kunbis of konkan who supported Chatrapati till their last breath. No wonder none of the 8 ministers chosen by Chatrapati were marathas.
Quality video. I actually thought the British fought the mughals for control of India. Didn't know they had first been defeated by these chaps.
yes they did its a propaganda of indian goverment. maratha wiped out in panipaths 3rd war

Rahul Bharambe haha nice reply bro ..
Stefan Milo, yes you are right, Marathas defeated Mughal Empire, but the country was in massive civil war ,east india company just got lucky and took advantage of the situation and the rest we all know.
Marathas Single handedly saved Hinduism
At the time of the mughals Hinduism was still growing rapidly and all religions were tolerated especially at the time of akbar
@@toocharged just mentioning akbar isnt worth it you have to know what aurangzeb did to hindus and sikhs and nizam's atrocities in the deccan region
toocharged indu ism never allowed others to practice their believes in India , on the other hand Muslims allowed all to practice their believe with respect
@@ibrahimyibrahimy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 good joke
@@ibrahimyibrahimy that's true the Muslim rulers were much more just and opening to other religions than the Hindus
I speak Marathi language and native to state of Maharashtra (Maratha state) in india.
Few additional information:
Meaning of Chatra-pati (छत्रपति) = One who holds umbrella/shield of protection over his people. (It dosnt necessarily mean king though).
Meaning of Peshawa (पेशवा)= Prime Minister, first among 8 ministers . Decentralised system of government established by First Chatra-pati.
I must commend video maker for neutrality.
छत्रपती means the king, the emperor.
Harsh Agrawal Jai Maharashtra
What an ineffective way to rule
Yes, very commendable.
Par chatrapati king hai.,arth chahe Jo hho ,tum jese non marathis jinhone apni ma behne chudwai ho mughlo angrejo dvara, tum nahi janoge king kya hota hai...asli king kya hota h
The most underrated empire in recent times!
Mostly the 27 year independence war is not known to most maratha people and the history that follwed after that. What a shame.

Bro u have a very weak knowledge of Indian history.
Marathas Ruled delhi but put a Puppet mughal Ruler Under their control over the Mughal thrown.
The Same policy was adopted by Britishers until 1857.
When british abolished Mughal throne and displaced Bahadur shah jaffar.
The first Anglo Maratha War is crazy
Yeah! So war Anglo Sikh wars too
Golden Memes the Anglo Sikh wars was oof to UK
@a k
British left India in 1947 and they could defeat Marathas by 1800 so British ruled for 150 years if you say 200 then British didn't even start Indian campaign in 1747
@a k It's very sad to know that this visonaries were short lived
@Games Account marathas were stubborn and didn’t reach out to us , even now look at kisan movement no matter how many water cannons they won’t stop us
And they say there was no unified India before British came. His video explains that it is a false claim.
No quite the opposite actually.
The Maratha empire was a Patch work of Semi Autonomous States only United by a Delicate Confederation which the British could exploit.
only 1 time has india been completely reunited in history besides the british is the mauryan empire. from afghanistan to vietnam.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurya_Empire
all other empires which tried to reunite india (maratha , mughal , guptas , delhi sultanates and many more) always had some territory remaining.
@@alpha-vs1fx aurangzeb is the second ashoka. he reunited india most of the subcontinent since ahoka for about 2000 years, even british cannot take afghanistan but mughal did it.
Yes unified secular India...we Marathas were always secular and tolerant of others religion not like BJP and Modi
Fun fact: If the Maratha Empire had defeated the Durrani Empire at the Third Battle of Panipat, they could have won the Second Anglo Maratha war.
The Jat leader advised against direct war without eatablished supply lines but Maratha leader did not listen. So Jats backtracked.
They even took their civilians like families with them to the battle field.
Their supply lines got cut as Awadh and Rohilkhand North Central Indian muslim rulers came to help Durrani Abdali.
So in the end Marathas soldiers had to fight empty stomach bec. Durrani kept on waiting for their supplies to get depleted.
In the battle Marathas fought very well but they lost bec. they had not kept a reserve back up force which shud be part of such battles. Also, their modern long range artillery which could easily breacg forts in Delhi was not effective in short range Battles with Afghans.
Maratha leader Bhau arrogance and stupid mistake cost them that battle.
Later on, Marathas attacked Rohilkhand, destroyed the city and even dug up the graves of all dead muslims who had helped Durrani feeding those traitors bones to dogs.
European war technology was advancing... The battle could be 1 British soldier equivalent to 10 Marathi warrior in long ranges, 1:2 at close range, and 1:1 close contact. They could not match the British superiority in artillery. If all of its army were armed with musket and enough high powered cannons maybe they could have stopped the British expedition to conquer India.
@@kristianehussenmaratas2369 go kid study about battle of haifa
Bro... British won't even have thought about Indian conquests. Let alone second anglo-maratha war...
The Maratha political system was bound to collapse and splinter. Unlike the British who had a robust political system that had evolved over centuries. The Marathas didn't stand a chance.
Can you be more careful with the Map of North East India. We were never part of Nawab of Bengal. Assam had its own Ahom Kingdom and the rest have affinity to SE Asia.
lol...why not do something positive. Ur assam is almost bangaldesh now...😂😂😂😂😂
Jackass and a temper to match, calling me a MF Benchud😋😋
I don't have time for you but we were in Khampat aka Kabaw Valley when you came out of the jungle, Pseudo-Bengali😂😂
And we have no idea about you either except you copied everything Bengali😂😂
Yeah, you people were rapped by Burmese for 7 years so much so that you invited the British in 1825. What a history 😂😂😂
I love that you cover history we westerners to hear about. Even in University our history classes are eurocentric. I get why, knowing your history is more inportent, but still I wish world history would be world history.
In Indian schools the history curriculum is heavily Indocentric (in the course books that I studied, we did have the French and Russian Revolution, the Irish independence movement, a bit about the origin of Protestant faith in Europe and the Vietnam war though). Everyone learns more about their own history than about other regions of the world.

Well done ,that was a great Indian empire and actually was the last Indian empire before the British conquest
No, the Sikh Empire was the last great Indian empire. Marathas were the last great Hindu Empire.
Nepal was never an empire, it was a kingdom.
Shivaji the great Marathas existed until 1818. My those dates, Marathas still outlasted Nepali Empire.
@@DewanAhsan357 Marathas were last great india empire not hindu empire. Point to be remembered that british took india from Marathas Not from shikhs.
@Shivaji the greatDude why are you praising nepalis everywhere, they were the ones British employed in brutally supressing the 1857 revolt. Even after 1857, they were the favourite lapdogs of British. They were mercenaries who fought for money. They didn't had any sense of common religion with hindus.
Namaste Epimetheus love from Bharat ( India ) very good vid
Excellent Video !!! Very Informative.. there is NO doubt that the brutal & fanatic Islamic Mughal rule in India faced stiff resistance at different periods from the great RAJPUT warriors, fierce AHOM warriors from Assam & from Punjab the brave SIKH warriors...India's strength lies in Unity in Diversity. Rightly did the great Hindi Poet Bhushana, who forsook the royal favours of the Mughal court to come over to Shivaji to record his glories, he sang :-“काशी की कला जाती, मथुरा की मसजीद बनती, अगर शिवाजी ना होते तो सबकी सुन्नत होती.”
meaning : (Had not there been Shivaji, Kashi would have lost its culture,Mathura would have been turned into a mosque and all would have been circumcised.)
If not for Shivaji and the Marathas, there would have existed a continuous Islamic belt from Morocco to Indonesia. What addition of 1 billion more adherents to Islam would have done to the world power balance or what would have happened to Indian legacy like yoga, ayurveda, music, art and philosophy, is not difficult to guess….
It is worthwhile examining the 'what if' of Indias history, Aurengzeb, Akbars great great grandson, had embarked on the 'Islamisation' of India. The Marathas, inspired by Shivaji, fought Aurengzeb and saved India from following the fate of Persia. The proof of Maratha victory lies in the fact that Aurengzeb lies buried, not in Lahore /Delhi or Agra , but near Aurangabad in good old Maharashtra...
Indian history before Shivaji's advent reads like a chronicle of military disasters. Shivaji changed all that. He used Guerilla Tactics very effectively. Shivaji, as a great warrior & visionary laid a strong and solid foundation that after his death in 1680, there was a series of battles fought between Marathas and Mughals from 1681 to 1707 known as 'War of 27 years' and ended with the death of Aurangzeb in 1707. The Marathas eventually emerged victorious and consolidated their lost territories. This was further expanded by the Peshwas. The Maratha empire reached its peak in summer of 1758 with the conquest of Attock, which is banks of Indus river in Pakistan today. Its eastern frontier was today’s Orissa, being ruled by Raghuji Bhosale of Nagpur. Maratha armies had also reached upto Murshidabad, but then retreated and settled for tribute from Bengal and control of Orissa. To the south, in 1758, territories upto the fort of Gurramkonda in Kadappah district were held. Also, Tanjore (Thanjavur) was under Marathas, but that was a different line. In 1761, the PANIPAT war was lost to the Afghans but Marathas RECOVERED quickly like phoenix bird within 10 years and brought the whole of North Indian again under their control during the 1770's under leadership of Madhavrao Peshwa..
Eventually, the Marathas grew stronger and fought the British in three Anglo-Maratha Wars (1775-82, 1803-05, 1817-18), In the First Anglo-Maratha War (1775-1782) the Marathas emerged Victorious. A Vijay Stambh (Victory Pillar) erected to commemorate Maratha victory over British is located at Vadgaon/Wadgaon Maval, close to the city of Pune. The 2nd and 3rd were subsequently lost and British established themselves which was followed by the Uprising of 1857 .
(By the way, just for your G.K, Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is also considered as the 'Father of the Indian Navy' AND Apart from Jijabai, 2 well known Women personalities emerging from the Maratha empire were Devi AHILYABAI HOLKAR and RANI LAXMIBAI of Jhansi also known as Manikarnika.)

@@saadmahmood1409 I did. Pretty impressive as they single handedly kicked the Mughals balls and comprehensively defeated them. The Muslim rulers were absolutely terrified of the Marathas. And rightly so.
@@ashkenazi0000 Mukund Kumar My point was every empire has its good and bad, life is not like Ramayan were it is good vs evil, granted the Mugals did damage but you just can't ignore the contribution they did to India. And one last thing if Mugals really wanted India to be a Muslim county they could have easily done so they ruled for many years after all. Now come to forced conversation, in the war in that time you win or lose. If you lose you die, if you win you will kill the loser. Aurangzeb did something different, he did not kill the opposing soldiers immediately when he won. He first capture them and told them that if you accept Islam you will get a new life and don't then you will die like any other soldiers in the battlefield. It was is way of giving mercy unlike other rulers who immediately kill the opposers. It is always important to know the whole story or less we will only see in one perspective. I gave the example of Ramayan earlier but even in Ramayan, Raavan was a great rule who ruled Lanka with great prosperity. He captured Sita because of what happened to her sister, if anyone attack your dear sibling even it was his/her fault it will be in your nature to side with your siblings. Even in Raavan's death Ram told this brother how great of a ruler Raavan was. Ramayan says one of the most important life lesson, you may be a hero in your story but a villain in others.

I'm a Jat and I owe my respect to Maratha Bravehearts. Lots of respect to Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Peshwa Bajirao.
I feel guilty that we Jats didn't fight with our Maratha brothers in the 3rd battle of Panipat. We fought together in defeating Mughals and controlled Delhi but the dispute over control of Delhi divided us and our brave Maratha brothers were defeated without our help.
I think we should learn from history and stay united. Had we fought together in Panipat we would have never been subjected to British.
Marathas Sikh and vijayanagara empire saved India from Islamic injustice.

@hmm m where are from you ?? You not Indian
Sikhs fought Mughals and Afghans, but it's one thing to fight and another to win.
Only force that actually defeated the mighty Mughal Empire were Marathas.
Actual credit goes to Chhatrapati Shivaji and latter day Peshwa family.
Chhatrapati Shivaji exploited the weakness of the Mughal Empire and Anti Hindu Zealotry of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, and brought it down.
Chhatrapati Shivaji taught his son shambhaji how to defeat the Mughals. His sons Shambhaji and Rajaram, showed character and finally defeated the mighty Mughal Empire.
Peshwa Baji Rao drove the nail into the final coffin belonging to Mughal Empire.
@hmm m Hindus are weak lol? Thats why muslim Pakistan lost 4 wars to Hindu India ? I am not even Hindu
You described the Maratha Empire so good. You got a sub😬👍

The marathas at their height battled and defeated the mughals, portuguese, english, persians, afghans, chinese and deccan sultanates at the same time!

Thanks for the correction :)
Is there a consonent mark to convey what you are saying. Otherwise th in Maratha will stay one in theta because of English language rules.

Today because of our brave Maraths soldiers, Rajput warriors, Ahom spink and Sikh khasla the Sanatana Dharama never loss its glory before the Muslim Rulars .......because of them today we are witnessing our rich India culture.
Thanks for this great video Epimethius. For long the British propaganda has claimed that they took India from the mugals and showed it as a blessing to majority Hindus who were oppressed.
Thanks to the free media truth is coming out and people can be told that the brits fought 3 wars with a Hindu empire even losing the first. How they betrayed the peace treaty and why the first Maratha war is missing from the British war chronicles is another story :)
My ancestors, they sent us to Southeast Asia (Philippines) at the brink of the Anglo-Maratha wars...for safety...that someday a descendant may still live and redeem the empire. But that's only history, a story that echoes in our family. It doesn't matter anymore today. When the Spanish came, our ancestors had already settled an Indian culture in some of the islands. And according to Spanish census, we were named Marata or Maratas in plural in the registrations bearing Indian origin and ethnicity. Proud of my heritage. It's in my name and will be passed on to our family's next generation.

मराठा साम्राज्य विस्ताराचा इतिहास :

1698 नंतर आधी छत्रपती राजाराम महाराज आणि महाराणी ताराबाई यांच्या काळात मराठ्यांनी औरंगजेब विरोधात बचावात्मक पवित्रा सोडून दिला, आणि त्याच्या युद्धामुळे खचलेल्या आर्थिक स्थितीचा फायदा घेत आक्रमणाचा पवित्रा अंगीकारला.
ह्या काळात खंडेराव दाभाडे, परसोजी भोसले, सरदार कदम बांडे आणि गायकवाड यांनी उत्तर महाराष्ट्र, गुजरात आणि वर्हाड ह्या प्रांतावर मराठा साम्राज्याचा विस्तार केला.
------------------------------------------------
मराठा साम्राज्याचा जितका विस्तार झाला, त्यातला अर्ध्याहून जास्त साम्राज्य विस्तार हा रघूजीराजे भोसले यांनी केला आहे.
1737 ते 1740 ह्या काळात रघूजीराजे भोसले ह्यानी कर्नाटक, हैदराबाद, तसेच एकूण दक्षिण भारतात मराठा साम्राज्याचा विस्तार केला. त्यांनी ह्या काळात दोस्त अलीखान आणि त्याच्या सर्व साथीदार आणि शासकांचा एकंदरीत पाडाव केला.
युद्धाच्या शेवटी जवळचे सर्व साथीदार आणि सोबत नातेवाईक देखील मारले गेल्याने दोस्त अली खान रघूजीराजे भोसले यांना शरण आला.
1741 मध्ये नागपूर च्या गोंड राज्यावर रघूजीराजे यांनी अधिकार प्रस्थापित केला.
पुढे 1745 पर्यंत रघूजीराजे भोसले यांनी ओडिसा, छत्तीसगढ, झारखंड, हे प्रदेश मराठा साम्राज्यात जोडले.
ह्यानंतर च्या काळात रघूजीराजे भोसले यांनी बंगाल वर एकामागोमाग एक आक्रमणे केली व अंततः तिथल्याअली वर्दी खान ह्या नवाबाला नमवले.
शेवटी अली वर्दी खान याने रघूजीराजे भोसले यांच्याशी तह केला व बिहार व बंगाल (आजच्या बांगलादेश सहित ) ह्या प्रदेशासाठी मराठ्यांना 20 लाख रुपये वार्षिक चौथाई द्यायचे कबूल केले. शिवाय रघूजीराजे यांनी तीन कोटी युद्ध खर्च देखील घेतला.
अशाप्रकारे दक्षिण आणि पूर्वोत्तर भारतावर रघूजीराजे भोसले यांनी मराठा साम्राज्याचा विस्तार केला.
------------------------------------------------
मराठा साम्राज्याचा माळवा (म्हणजे मध्यप्रदेश) आणि बुंदेलखंड ह्या भागात विस्तार,
बाजीराव पेशवे, राणोजी शिंदे, मल्हार राव होळकर, राणोजी भोईटे, आनंदराव पवार ह्यानी केला.
1740 पर्यंत.
ह्यातली बुंदेलखंड ह्या भागाची जहागिर छत्रपती शाहू महाराजांनी बाजीराव पेशवे याना दिली.
माळवा प्रांताची जहागिर छत्रपती शाहू महाराजानी राणोजी शिंदे, मल्हार राव होळकर यांना दिली.
धार पवारांना देण्यात आले होते, आणि भोईटे याना देखील वेगळी जहागिर शाहू महाराजांनी इनाम दिली होती.
------------------------------------------------
ह्यानंतर मराठा साम्राज्य दिल्ली, राजस्थान आणि पाकिस्तान (अटक, पेशावर ) ह्या भागावर पसरवण्याचे कार्य मल्हारराव होळकर, जनकोजी शिंदे, राघो बल्लाळ आणि सर्वात मुख्यत्वे दत्ताजी शिंदे यांनी केले.
------------------------------------------------
अशाप्रकारे छत्रपती शाहू महाराजांनी त्यांच्या दरबारी असलेल्या कर्तृत्ववान लोकांद्वारे, छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराजांच्या स्वराज्याचे साम्राज्यात रूपांतर केले.
हे मराठा साम्राज्य भारतभर पसरलेले होते.
सर्वांना विनम्र अभिवादन
जय भवानी...... जय शिवाजी.....⛳⛳

Pagal hai kya😂
Polytheistic religions like Hinduism are far more tolerant by nature than Monotheistic ones, so it doesn't surprise me that the Maratha Confederacy was far more concerned with quality of character than religious adherence.
The video on the Chola and pandya empires of Tamilakam are also needed
Please do a video about cholas or pandyan empires. Thanks
I am Maratha and student of History , First Thanks to this video maker for making this authentic video , it's realy good presentation , I have proud because I born and living in Capital of Maratha Empire that is SATARA.

Ti Ru but this is nice video
He's doing what our Indian UA-camrs aren't !
Most of our foolish UA-camrs only are making nonsense pranks and fake videos.
Appreciate his effort than sound condescending.
You know, it was actually the fault of both Shah jahan and Aurangzeb for instilling the downfall of the empire. Had shah jahan managed the treasury more carefully and allowed religious tolerance, the revolts wouldn't have started in the first place. And if they hadn't started, then aurangzeb, his son, wouldn't have spent HIS life fighting the rebels, thus depleting the treasury even more, and then India wouldn't have been invaded by Nader shah which was the "nail in the coffin" for the mughal empire. It makes me angry to think that the emperors couldve avoided this downfall by just being more tolerant religiously, yet they didnt. They went against the ideal akbar had set to build the empire, and they paid the price for it.
First time I heard of the Maratha Empire was when I played Empire: Total War 8-)
Aaaayyy, my people~
Or, I guess, the people who probably conquered and/or absorbed the peoples some of my ancestors belonged to, resulting in me associating a part of my identity with them despite my actual people most likely being mere subjects of the Marathas themselves... but that's not as validating to say.
(Also I gotta say it, it's pronounced with more of a hard "t" sound, like "thyme", rather than a soft "th" sound, like in "thought".)
There are three “t” sounds at work here. The one used in the video is a voiceless dental fricative, like in “thistle”. This sound is usually unaspirated in English and exists in Indo-Aryan languages too, although as you point out, it is not in the word Maratha.
The other two sounds are “hard” t’s. They are the alveolar voiceless stop and the retroflex voiceless stop. Both should be aspirated and are quite similar sounding, even though technically neither one exists in the other language(s), but they are good approximations of each other.
Lovely video! I like how you included pictures from illustrated manuscripts - I love that!
Sikh Empire next!
Na. He should do the whole history of our sikh history. The things our gurus did is nothing compared to the sikh empire. I hope that makes sense.
Internal bickering and personal ambition over the general good was what led to the Lahore Durbar's fall. No one teaches us but the Sikh kingdoms of Patiala & Kapurthala had sided with the brits for their personal gains, destroying the greatest superpower Punjab had ever produced.
@@KunalSingh-kq9tk its not their fault, brits were keen on divide and rule
There's a mistake in video, we don't call Shivaji, we call him as CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ., You cant re-upload but you can edit the video description.

Internal bickering befalls all empires
Marathas won sub continent Muslims respect..
They were bravo...
As a Bengali we fought Mughal too...
We defeat Akbars army lead by man singh but later his son Jahangir defeat us...

Thanks for informing me about this. I never heard of this empire until I watched the video.

Hussam Khaled Then from where?
Love from US to my fellow Indians. I am also martha descendent. I want to see not just India but whole Indian subcontinent to be superpowers.
Maratha Empire was considered as one of the few secular empires in history of India
Not true
No one had d might 2 capture India when India was ruled by a single Kingdom may it b Maurya, Prithvi Raj, Porus, Yadav, Gupta, Maratha, Sikh or even Mughals. Britishers were able 2 capture India only bcoz there were many kingdoms inside one nation. When India got independent, there were 516 princely states (correct me if I m wrong). Britishers can never defeat India has a whole. They defeated India part by part.
This is d answer for those people who keep on asking, "how come people eating 🍞 (Europeans) can defeat people who eat 🍚 & chapati?
Matathas are brave.
I am American Indian my name is Dev Kulkarni my father told me this Shivaji story i believe and i became to proud for India
Marathas had different swag
History of Seleucid Empire?
Thank god u didn't say Maratha fought against muslims.
🙏
The Maratha was very tolerant for their time :)
Check the dates of chhatrapati it's incorrect in video
The Marathas are the reason why India is secular today..... If they only stuck it out against the British.... We would see a very different India today.
Thankfully, following in their footsteps, the BJP and the RSS are back in power.... Maybe this is the legacy of the Marathas.
Make India dharmic again.

U haven't mentioned Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj....He was more powerful than Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj...
Bajirao peshwa is bravest warriors of all the time he fought 41wars and didn't lose even the single one he won all the wars with so powerfull mughal empire that is the power of peshwa bajirao his book is still taught in USA and some places as the book of tacticts of war hhe was very very fast in war
I am a secular person and a tolerant one who hates the BJP just because of Me being a Maratha...from childhood I grew up listening to the stories of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj...and how tolerant he was ...how secular he was...I hate the growing hindu extremism in India because of Modi government just because it goes beyond what has been taught by Hinduism and the Real Hindu Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj...he was kind to others. And I am secular and still a proud Hindu and Indian just because of Shivaji Maharaj...he has taught us to stay with peace and be tolerant to others...he was not Aurangzeb he was Shivaji...and that's what our India stands for being secular and tolerant
Modi government is highlighting India's true history (Chattrpati Shivaji Maharaj, Maharana Pratap, Guru Gobind Singh Ji)
Congress highlights mugal only
can u make a video on the history of the punjab before and after sikhism?
Good video Bro, always wish the short ones were a little longer. Keep up the good work!
Chatrapati Shivaji maharaj is the great king and emperol of Maratha.. I love Marathi language love from Nepal 🇳🇵❤️❤️❤️
Marathi language is much similar to Nepali.
" छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराज "
दूर करण्या काळोख स्वराज्यावरचा एक प्रकाश चमकला,
जिजामातेच्या पोटी स्वतः सूर्य जन्मला.
तेजस्वी चेहरा फौलादी छाती मर्दानी त्याची चाल,
कुत्र्यवाणी पळविले मुगलांना तो रयतेचा राजा महान

Oh wow, the looks of that Baji Rao!
Imagine if rajputs,marathas,Sikhs,gurkhas... Etc fought unitedly against the invaders instead of fighting each other..no nation on earth would have been able to conquer india..today India is a completely different animal..
if only maratha sardar united enough to india
it really helped me
I'm proud of my noble Maratha blood!

Yes. It is correct depiction of history but I felt somehow British shouldn’t have won last battle which ruined country for next three centuries otherwise India would have been more powerful than any country in world now.
How so? Without the western innovations and technology India would in fact be worse off, India would not of existed it would be several smaller kingdoms slaughtering each other rather like most of Africa.
@@NightshadeX85 no, britishers left india scattered into more than 500 provinces , there was a man SARDAR VALLABH PATEL ( see the statue of unity ) He united the whole country without any violence (unlike bismark did in germany to unite it) . Britishers also did the partitiion of India. When bririshers came to india they landed on world's most wealthy place which contributed 23% of world GDP at that time and what they did , they looted India. And you say about invensions , many important invensions are Indian and copied by britishers like the first plane, you can search on google that who was SHIVKAR BAPUJI TALPADE , he made first plane in modern history and wright brothers took that plane did some changes to make it look different and said that it was made by them . Gravity is also found by BHASKARACHARYA , 500 yrs before newton and there are many more examples likes misiles,ships,etc are first made by indians and then copied in west and due to western colonialisation it became famous . India is father of knowledge in every field like in midical science also .
@@NightshadeX85 they could have hired the Britishers as they were rich enough. Btw ancient Vedic technology is still the fundamentals of many modern Inventions.
So if Britian didnt come to india could the maratha have united india?

@Sachin Jadhav there are my uncle
Very informative and accurate video. The Maratha empire has always been of particular interest because of its swashbuckling history, though I do wish you had used the term South Asia instead of Indian Subcontinent which has recently been gaining popularity. I'd be interested in seeing a video on Vijayanagara since it was another Hindu empire founded during Muslim rule, or the Pala empire which was India's last great Buddhist dynasty
Yeah Vijaynagar empire would be good
Pala were not budhist they were hindu rulers of upgansthan (afganistan ) and punjab . They were also called hindu shahi .
Rohit Sharma you're thinking of the Jayapala of the classical era. I'm talking about the medieval Pala empire in what's now Bangladesh and eastern India. It was the last Buddhist empire in India
Can you do the history of maghrab (Libya Tunisia Algeria Morocco and Mauritania)
Epimetheus YOU missed two very very imp people 1) Jijaae , 2) Samarth guru Ramdas
Thanks for making this video on great Maratha Empire
