About the Book
This volume explores the transformative century of the Maratha Empire, highlighting the rise of the Peshwa to supreme administrative power under the Sahad of Chhatrapati Shahu. By conferring total authority to the Peshwa, Shahu reshaped the political framework of the Deccan, laying the groundwork for a new era of governance and cultural exchange.
The narrative illustrates how these political changes also ushered in streams of new cultural influences. Northern traditions, the Persian language, luxurious goods, as well as music and dance, gradually permeated the Deccan and merged with its existing cultural ethos. This synthesis gave rise to a distinctive identity that reflected both continuity and transformation.
Well-researched and richly contextualized, this work is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of the Marathas, cultural exchanges in the Deccan, and the socio-political evolution of 18th-century India.
