महाराष्ट्र देशा ☀️⚡️

@courage_maratha At this point, I am completely convinced that you’re a ganwar who’s incapable of reading simple English. I am not talking about who won or lost more number of battles, I am simply pointing out that paying tribute ≠ accepting vassalage. You’re going in circles by changing topics.

@courage_maratha If paying tribute = accepting vassalage, then by this logic Marathas were vassals of Mughals & Nizam as well. Just like before, this ganwar didn’t even go through the sources I shared XD. Ghati bandars really think they ruled India by doing hafta-vasooli for their Muslim masters.

Did you know? Rathore clan of rajputs have the #worldrecord of marrying highest number of daughters to the Muslims and Muslim slaves. Let's see how many #Rathore women married to Muslims and their slaves. A Thread 🧵

Dear @ncert, this is nothing more than the usual Marathi rhetoric of equating tribute (tax) collection with political sovereignty. They falsely boast about ruling entire India even though levying tribute is not the same as actually ruling or administering a state. Although I’ve discussed this multiple times in the past, allow me to summarise some of the key points 📌 : 🔸 The tax levied from kingdoms in the form of 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙝 was more or less protection money or military extortion, compelling the local rulers (Mughal governors, Nawabs, Rajputs Rajas, etc) to pay it in order to prevent plundering raids by Marathas, the main victims of which were always innocent civilians. 🔸 This is not some random assumption but an academically attested view. To quote the words of reputed historians like Jadunath Sarkar : “ 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙖 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙗𝙪𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙖 𝙨𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙫𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙚. ” 🔸 There are many instances throughout Maratha history when their own chiefs, acting independently of any central authority (neither 𝙋𝙚𝙨𝙝𝙬𝙖 nor 𝘾𝙝𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙞), were compelled to pay tribute to the Mughal Emperor, the Nizam of Hyderabad & even the East India Company. So Marathas were ruled by Mughals, Nizam & British too? 🔸 Speaking of central authority, who exactly was the Emperor of this so-called ‘Maratha Empire’ ? Was it the Brahmin Peshwa of Poona or the titular Maratha Chhatrapati of Satara? Even the chiefs working under them — Holkar, Sindhia, Gaekwad, Panwar, Bhonsle — fought against each other like bitter enemies throughout their history. 🔸 Even the 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙝 demanded from Rajputana during the regency of Mahadji Sindhia (𝙑𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙡-𝙞-𝙈𝙪𝙩𝙡𝙖𝙦 of Mughal Empire) was legitimised in the name of the Mughal Emperor only. Rajput states had been holding back tribute to the Mughal government for years, while Marathas came demanding for it on behalf of their masters. 🔸 How many North Indian rulers in general (or Rajput Rajas in particular) formally attended any Maratha 𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙖𝙖𝙧 (court) even once, let alone on a frequent or regular basis like subjects are ought to? Did any of them ever render military service under Marathas or assigned an official rank in the Maratha bureaucracy (assuming it was one)? 🔸 No, not at all! It was the exact other way around with Maratha leaders often visiting the Mughal court (or sending their direct representatives) to appeal for 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙗𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙞 or 𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙞, addressing themselves as loyal slaves of the Mughal Emperor in their royal seals & even going as far as minting coins in his name. 🔸 Marathas did not even care if any other power attacked & looted their so-called vassals as long as they were getting their own share of ‘𝙝𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙖-𝙫𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙞’. If we are to go by their logic, then underworld criminals & political goons — like Dawood Ibrahim or The Thackerays — are also ruling sovereigns of Maharashtra.

Abey low IQ ganwar, theek se padh. I have also shared sources of Marathas paying tribute to the Mughals & Nizams in the 18th century, way after Shivaji — the hereditary slave of Mughals — had sh!tted himself to death.
