Description:
"Akherchi Ladhai - The Last Fight" is a historical novel based on the life of Sawai Madhavrao Peshwa and Nana Phadnavis, shedding light on many lesser-known incidents of their time. For nearly 24 years, Nana Phadnavis played a crucial role in the administration during the Peshwa regime, helping to stabilize the Peshwa rule after the untimely deaths of Sawai Madhavrao Peshwa's parents.

As a young ruler, Sawai Madhavrao's position was highly vulnerable, but Nana took the responsibility of guiding and protecting him, treating him as his own son. Despite the power he held, Nana never took undue advantage of his position. He managed the administration under the name of Sawai Madhavrao.

During this period, the Nizam sought to conquer the Maratha-controlled regions, threatening the Peshwa's rule. In response, Nana Phadnavis called for war, employing his strategic brilliance and benefiting from favorable circumstances. The Nizam was forced to accept defeat and sign a treaty under Nana’s terms.

Throughout his career, Nana Phadnavis faced both internal and external enemies, constantly fighting to protect the Peshwa and maintain the integrity of the Maratha Empire. The novel delves into the intricacies of Nana Phadnavis' leadership, his wit, and his dedication to the Peshwa’s cause, bringing to the forefront his pivotal role in safeguarding the Maratha Empire during a tumultuous time in history.
