A man like him is difficult to explain in terms of heritage, training or upbringing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e His military campaigns were classic examples of his genius.  In the mayhem of the religious intolerance continued by the tottering Mughals after Aurangzeb, Baji Rao stood out as the champion of Hinduism.  He conquered Gujarat and most of central India and even shook the foundations of the Mughal Empire by attacking imperial Delhi.  Though he had sworn to plant his flag on the Indus, death robbed him of this honor.  His sons, however, fulfilled their father's pledge.  After driving the Afghans out of the Punjab, they raised the swallow-tailed flag not just on the walls of Attock, but even beyond.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaji Rao had a galaxy of contemporaries, both friends and adversaries, who have left their mark on history.  This is, therefore, necessarily also the story of the other great personages like Nizam ul Mulk, the distinguished founder of Hyderabad state; Sawai Jai Singh of Jaipur, general, statesman, astronomer and town planner; Kanhoji Angre, the daredevil naval commander who made life a misery for the English and the Portuguese; Raja Chattarsal, the heroic kind who carved out an independent kingdom in Bundelkhand, and this is also the story of Mastani, Chattarsal's daughter and Baji Rao's great love.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book is about war; of battles on land and battles at sea; of the thundering peal of cannons and the hailstorms of musket shots; of brilliant-bladed talwars and razor-sharp lances; of heroism and glory and cowardice and intrigue; of palaces and fortresses; and even of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I\u003cbr\u003eThe Mughals -Decadence and Decline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER II\u003cbr\u003eNizam ul Mulk - tiger of the Deccan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER III\u003cbr\u003eRebuilding Maratha Might\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IV\u003cbr\u003eThe Spectacular Palkhed Campaign\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER V\u003cbr\u003eConquest of Malwa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VI\u003cbr\u003eGenerals to the Fore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VII\u003cbr\u003eVictory in Gujarat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VIII\u003cbr\u003eChattarsal's Tryst with Baji Rao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IX\u003cbr\u003eMesmerized by Mastani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER X\u003cbr\u003eKanhoji Angre - Naval Strong Arm of the Marathas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XI\u003cbr\u003eSubjugation of the Portuguest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XII\u003cbr\u003eBrothers at Arms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XIII\u003cbr\u003eA strategist without Equal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER XIV\u003cbr\u003eClosing Years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"E Jaiwant Paul \/ Roli Books \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153704284528,"sku":"8071","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/8071.jpg?v=1793912913","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/baji-rao-the-warrior-peshwa","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
