प्रश्न
The second phase of Maratha's history was a period of dominance of the Peshwa. In this context answer the following question:
How was the Maratha confederacy established?
उत्तर
A major development at this time was the rise of the prominent Maratha families-the Sindhias, the Bhonsles, the Holkars, and the Gaekwards. The Peshwa divided the erstwhile Mughal provinces into ‘spheres of influence’ and placed them under the chiefs of these Maratha families. These chiefs enjoyed maximum autonomy within their respective regions. The Peshwa was the official head of this loose union of Maratha chiefs which is referred to as the Maratha confederacy.
