Maratha Resurrection

The Maratha Resurrection was the period between the Third Battle of Panipat on January 14, 1761[1] and capture of Najibabad in 1772.

Their power was virtually wiped out of northern India and the confederacy itself experienced fragmentation.

Despite quarrels with Raghunathrao, the young Peshwa, along with Mahadji Shinde and Nana Fadnavis, were able to resurrect Maratha supremacy, both in Deccan and North India.

[citation needed] Madhavrao Peshwa's victory over the Nizam of Hyderabad and Hyder Ali of Mysore in southern India proved Maratha dominance in the Deccan.

On the other hand, Mahadji's victory over Jats of Mathura, Rajputs of Rajasthan and Pashtun-Rohillas of Rohilkhand (in the western part of present-day Uttar Pradesh state) re-established the Marathas in the northern India.
