The Maratha invasion of Rajputana (1800–1820) was a significant chapter in Indian military history in which Rajputana again faced the invasion of Marathas. The Marathas and the Rajputs collided in a series of engagements and battles. Maratha, under Daulatrao Shinde, Bapuji shinde, Yashwantrao Holkar, Amir Khan invaded Rajputana in order to collect chauth.[2][1][3]

Background[edit]

Marathas under various commanders of the empire, invaded Rajputana for the purpose of collecting chauth. A series of military conflicts took place between them. Some wars took place before 1808, but the majority of battles took place after the Second Anglo Maratha war, where the Marathas invaded Rajputana to recover the economic losses they faced in the war against the British. This war lasted nearly a decade, until 1820. Marathas sacked Rajputana, received a huge tribute, and forced Rajputs to sign a subsidiary alliance with the British.[2][1]
