Re: Peshwas
It were marahatas who provoked Abdali by making inroads into punjab which was afghan territory at that time…
Moreover Rohilla afghans of western U.P were feeling overwhelmed by power of marahatas…it is also said that shah waliullah was concerned that entire hindostan might go into hands of this hindu empire if they are not crushed so he sent a letter to abdali (note that rohillas were followers of shah waliullah) …
