MAHADJI SHINDE WAS AN ABSOLUTE SERVANT OF WEALTH; HE WAS TROUBLED BY INTERNAL REBELLIONS; HE WAS THE ONE WHO CAME TO NANA`S AID TO UPSET RAGHOBADAS, TO BRING THE BRITISH TO A STANDSTILL, TO FOIL MOROBA AND BAPU`S PLOT TO IMPRISON NANA, TO SETTLE THE KARVEERKARS. WITHOUT NANA’S HELP, ESPECIALLY CARRYING THE HATRED THAT NANA HAD FOR HIM, MAHADJI ESTABLISHED THE SUPREMACY OF THE MARATHAS IN THE NORTH. THIS IS A BURNING STORY OF THE VALOR OF MAHADJI WHO LEAD THE DRILL ARMY, GAVE OPEN ARMS TO NANA TO BRING HIM DOWN, PAID ALLEGIANCE TO THE FEET OF SAWAI MADHAVRAO, FORCED THE BRITISH TO SURRENDER, HELPED IN THE MATTER OF BHAUSAHEB, FLATLY REFUSED TO SUPPORT RAGHOBADADA AGAINST AHILYABAI, FORCED NANA TO ACQUIESCE, AND ALSO BROUGHT THE EMPEROR OF DELHI BACK TO HIS THRONE.
