Publisher's Synopsis
""Rise of the Maratha Power"" is a historical work by Indian writer and social reformer Mahadev G. Ranade, first published in 1900. The book chronicles the rise of the Maratha Empire in India during the 17th and 18th centuries, from its origins as a regional power in the Deccan Plateau to its eventual domination of much of the Indian subcontinent. Ranade provides a detailed account of the political, military, and cultural factors that contributed to the Maratha's rise to power, including the role of influential figures such as Shivaji, the founder of the Maratha Empire, and the Peshwas, the powerful prime ministers who ruled in their name. The book also explores the complex relationships between the Marathas and other Indian kingdoms and empires, such as the Mughals and the British, and the impact of these interactions on the Maratha's political and military strategies. Overall, ""Rise of the Maratha Power"" is a comprehensive and insightful study of one of India's most important historical periods, offering readers a deeper understanding of the forces that shaped the country's political landscape for centuries to come.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
