Question
What impact did the Uprising of 1857 have on the Peshwaship?
Solution
- The Uprising of 1857 led to the abolition of the Peshwaship. After the rebellion, Nana Sahib, the last Peshwa, played a significant role in the revolt, but his defeat marked the end of the Peshwa line.
- The British formally dissolved the Peshwaship, and no further claims to the title were recognised, effectively ending the Maratha leadership in India.
- The British rulers declared emphatically their policy of non-interference in the religious affairs, customs and traditions of the Indians.
