the Bhat family who gained effective
control of the Maratha Empire during

assisted a young Maratha Emperor
Shahu to consolidate his grip on a
kingdom that had been racked by civil
war and persistently intruded on by the
Mughals under Aurangzeb. He was

Ballal was the 7th Peshwa of the Maratha
Empire. During his 20-year tenure as a
Peshwa, he defeated Nizam-ul-Mulk at
several battles like the Battle of
Delhi and Battle of Bhopal. Baji Rao's
contributed for Maratha supremacy
in southern India and northern India. Thus,
he was partly responsible for establishing
Maratha power
in Gujarat, Malwa, Rajputana and
Bundelkhnd and liberating Konkan western
coast of India from the Siddis of
Janjira and Portuguese rule

6. CHIMAJIAPPA

family in 1707 and died in 1740, commonly referred
to as Appa or Bhau, was the son of Balaji
Vishwanath Bhat and the younger brother
of Bajirao Peshwa of Maratha Empire. He was an
able military commander who liberated the western
coast of India from Portuguese rule. The high
watermark of his career was the capture of Vasai
fort from the Portuguese in a hard-fought battle.
He was known to run strategy for the Maratha
Empire and was known to plan all the battles
for Bajirao.

7. SADASHIVRAOBHAU

August 1730 – 14 January 1761)
was son of Chimaji Appa (younger
brother of Bajirao I) and
Rakhmabai (Pethe family) and the
nephew of Baji Rao I. He was a

of Maratha emperor Chhatrapati
Rajaram II. He led
the Maratha army at the Third
Battle of Panipat.

8. BALAJI ALIAS NANASAHEB
Baji Bajirao (8 December 1720 –
23 June 1761), also known as
Nana Saheb I, was the 8th
Peshwa of the Maratha
Confederacy in India. He was
appointed as Peshwa in 1740
upon the death of his illustrious
father, the Peshwa Bajirao I.
During his tenure, the
Chhatrapati (Maratha Emperor)
was a mere figurehead.

1716), also known as Ramchandra Pant
Amatya, served on the Council of 8
(Ashta Pradhan) as the Finance Minister
(Amatya) to Emperor (Chhatrapati)
Shivaji, dating from 1674 to 1680.[1] He
then served as the Imperial Regent to
four later emperors, namely Sambhaji,
Rajaram, Shivaji II and Sambhaji II. He
authored the Adnyapatra, a famous code
of civil and military administration, and is
renowned as one of the greatest civil
administrators, diplomats and military
strategists of the Maratha Empire.

10. RAGHUNATHRAO
Raja Sir Raghunathrao Shankarrao Gandekar (also
known as Babasaheb Pandit Pant Sachiv 20
September 1878 – 27 August 1951) was the 11th
ruler of the princely state of Bhor of British Raj
during the reign (1922–1951). During his reign, he
implemented many reforms such as abolition of
untouchability, freedom of association and
introduction of representative government. He
signed the accession to the Indian Union on 8
March 1948 which ended the separate existence
of Bhor state.

11. BAJIRAO II Shrimant Peshwa Baji Rao II (10 January 1775 – 28
January 1851) was the 13th and the last Peshwa of
the Maratha Empire. He governed from 1795 to 1818.
He was installed as a puppet ruler by the Maratha
nobles, whose growing power prompted him to flee his
capital Poona and sign the Treaty of Bassein (1802)
with the British. This resulted in the Second Anglo-
Maratha War (1803–1805), in which the British
emerged victorious and re-installed him as the titular
Peshwa. In 1817, Baji Rao II joined the Third Anglo-
Maratha War against the British, after they favoured
the Gaekwad nobles in a revenue-sharing dispute.
After suffering several battle defeats, the Peshwa
surrendered to the British, and agreed to retire in
return for an estate at Bithoor and an annual pension.

12. NANASAHEB
Nana Saheb Peshwa II (19 May 1824 – 24
September 1859), born as Dhondu Pant, was an
Indian Peshwa of the Maratha empire, aristocrat
and fighter, who led the rebellion in Kanpur
(Cawnpore) during the Great Revolt of 1857. As the
adopted son of the exiled Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao
II, Nana Saheb believed that he was entitled to a
pension from the East India Company, but the
underlying contractual issues are rather murky. The
Company's refusal to continue the pension after his
father's death, as well as what he perceived as high-
handed policies, led him to join the rebellion. He
forced the British garrison in Kanpur to surrender,
then murdered the survivors, gaining control of
Kanpur for a few days. He later disappeared, after
his forces were defeated by a British force that
recaptured Kanpur. He later fled to Naimisha Forest
in Nepal where he was said to have died in 1859.
