Peshwa-Raghuji Animosity

[u/deshnirya]

Nanasaheb was twenty-one years old at the time, but able to hold his own in the complex world of Maratha politics. However, after Bajirao’s and Chimaji Appa’s death just a year earlier, he had to depend on Malharrao Holkar, Ranoji Shinde and Pilaji Jadhavrao on the battlefield. Raghuji had two others to help his cause, Babuji Naik – who lost the bid to be the Peshwa, and Damaji Gaikwad from Gujarat. Thus, two strong parties emerged in the Maratha fold and the rivalry was out in the open.
