- Who were the Marathas? Rise and Fall of the Maratha Empire explained (Documentary)
The Maratha Empire (or confederacy) was the last major native super power in the Indian subcontinent prior to the establishment of the modern nation of India.

/ epimetheus1776
One major misconception about Indian history is that the British conquered the subcontinent from the Mughal Empire (that was even printed in my high school textbook). While it had effectively collapsed the same year (1757) the British East India company had first established a major foothold in subcontinent (the Nawab of Bengal: which had become independent of the Mughal empire years beforehand). The major power in the Indian subcontinent of the era was the Maratha Empire(confederacy) who the BEIC fought 3 wars with. (1775-1818)
This video is a re-write of an old video. Longer, better visual and audio. I hope you enjoy and find it interesting. 😊
Evolution is a lie. There is abundant evidence that debunks the theory of evolution.
First of all, there are zero true transitional species.
Every single living thing can be classified as a eukaryote or a prokaryote, a fish or an amphibian, and so on.
If evolution was true, then there must be species that are a transition between two kinds of living things.
If evolution was true, then there must be species that are a transition between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, between fish and amphibians, and so on.
But there are none.
See, in order to be a true transitional species, a species must contain organisms from two different kinds of living things.
There is no other possible way to bridge the evolutionary gap between the different kinds of living things.
For example, a transitional species between fish and amphibians must contain some organisms which are scientifically classified as fish and some organisms which are scientifically classified as amphibians.
But there are no species like this.
The fact is that there are zero true transitional species.
Secondly, there are zero transitional organs.
If evolution was true, then there must be organs that are a transition between two different organs.
For example, according to the theory of evolution, lungs evolved from swim bladders. So there should be an organ that is a transition between a swim bladder and a lung.
But there is no organ that is a transition between a swim bladder and a lung.
These are just some of the many evidences that prove that the theory of evolution is a fairy tale.
@@tylerb9877 I am a born again Christian who believes in the living word of God and repentence of sin and following and living in Christ. Scrapping up an argument on evolution is not our calling. That's politics. If a scientist denies God, pray for him. Following Christ is our calling. Please do it.

Well my Great Grandfather gave 300 acres of land to help his village/state, still left with much of it, but you know we can't betray our families or harm them, because of that we lost our wealth, our lands and assets. My grandfather was homeless with the Open tag(no support from the govt. Tag) he grew himself, and today although we lost much, I am still an upper middle class, I can buy anything I want let it be new land, new apartments, new flats cause that's in our blood, we are good with everyone till everyone is good with us. And trust me on this if you would said that on my face let me tell you would never be able to show up again. I really didn't wanted to say anything to any community because of an aa-hole like you but you forced me to do so, I know for a fact Bengalis hate us(Marathas) it's okay we don't care much about it but let me tell if you got balls just try to speak this shit Infront of a Maratha on the face not like an keyboard warrior, just try it once it will help you to stop poking nose inn.

Maharashtra always had an upper hand in every situation in India. The past, the present and future of Marathis is always bright.
Are there still living descendants of this amazing clan? They should be preserved.
@@Kopie0830 The 3rd largest Indian state in size and 2nd largest state by population is Maharashtra with the largest economy in the whole country. Maharashtra is a home state for Marathas. It's one of the most balanced state in the country and also the most important state in the country since it generates the highest amount of revenue for India. State's population is around 110 million out of which 80 Million are Marathi people who shares ancestry with Maratha Empire. So, Yeah, They are well preserved and are not going anywhere!

@@Kopie0830 I am a 96k Maratha. Jai shivray ❤️❤️
The thing to discuss is not that the Marathas conquered large parts of India snatching from Mughals, but the speed at which they did it.
1700, few districts not more than 2000sq kms under Marathas.
1740, Marathas controlled from Khyber in the West, to Bengal in the East, from Andhra to the south, to Himachal in the north, around 300,000sq kms.
This is Mongol or Turkic level speed of conquest.
I think they reached Khyber in 1758-59. Correct me if I am wrong
Actually not as fast as Mongols.
1200: They didn't have much land under them at all
1230: Ruled 3/4th of Asia and half of Europe.
But still what the Marathas did was amazing
@VK 1300 years ? Lolz
@VK 1300 years? even Islam is 1400 years old bitch. first Muslim stronghold in India was into the 12th century. and even that was around Dehli. Mughals effectively ruled from 1527-1707.
dilli bharat ki rajdhani nahi thi prachin bharat alag alag samrajya hote the sabhi samrajyo ki rajdhani ush samay alag thi
As a Sikh, I have tremendous respect for the Maratha people. Marathas are the real warriors and not the overrated Rajputs who, except for few warriors, easily surrendered to the Islamic dynasties based in Delhi, and not only that, they also gave their daughters to the Mughal emperors. Rajputs also never fought any battle against the British. Even in the freedom struggle against the British, they played no part in it. On the other hand, Maratha warriors fought long battles with the Mughals, British, and Ahmed Shah Abdali. Marathas also played a big part in the freedom struggle against the British-Indian government.
Learn Rajput history then comment
@@mik1901 if they fall to caliphate India would definitely is a Islamic country now as caliphate are more radical ch∆$$lim who destroy Persian Egyptian and many more counties religion thank god rajputs stopped them for more then 500 year from 700 ad to 1192 ad
While I get where you're coming from, we have to understand that by 16 century Rajputs were tired of the 700 years of battles and sacrifices. They had been trying and defeating the invaders literally since 9th century. Cut them some slack. The Sikhs, Rajputs, Marathas, Ahoms, Kannads, Tamils and Telgus are pride of India. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude.
What do you know about Rajputs, other than Indian muslim historian told you , if you're Sikh Today that's because of Rajputs only , otherwise you would have become Muslim after first Arabic Caliphate in 712 ad there are many full fledged wars that rajputs have fought against Invaders , not small fights of thousands
What is the proof giving daughter ??? Have you done any research
Marathas the people who took back their own country

I like the fact that the Maratha Empire was a native Hindu Empire that defeated the Turco Muslim Mughal Empire that was of foreign origin. I like the Maratha Empire because it was a meritocracy that didn't discriminated in the base of caste system and religion.

Because of marathas india is not a muslim country . 🙏 sorry if you feel bad about it. Don't take it seriously . I am just saying historically. We are humans first , no religion is greater than humanity. We are all connected. We are brothers by human race. All Religions is this world are created by man only, and not by god. As new generation we should think of brotherhood and follow humanism. Some People try to divide and use us in the name of religion. Don't listen to anyone. No religion is greater than humanity. Hindu or muslim doesn't matter, People are of 2 types Good or Bad. As I am from maharashtra , most of my muslim friends celebrate ganesh festivals with us, i also attend every eid at their house. Don't follow chutiya politicians, media, who try to divide us. We don't have any any stamp on us whether hindu or muslim ,we all are equal human beings. As I said earlier there are 2 types of people in world, Good or Bad . That's it. One should follow any religion by scientific approach and not blindly.
@VK had islam never spread out of saudi arabia.. World would have been a much better place. No forced conversions.. No religious Insecurities.. Freedom and respect for every religion. But unfortunately muslims wanted to conquer the world by converting everyone into islam and not respecting any other religion.
Very true brother..... Because of Chh. Shivaji Maharaj Hindus were saved from being converted to Muslims
@@shashankyadavade9586 Islam is never spread by aggressiveness, Actually a person is only a Muslim if he accepts it completely by his heart.

fight bw other religion is not that much compare to islam
If the mughals wanted they would have converted every Hindu by force the people of India converted to Islam is because of Caste system in Hinduism which is a reality even today Shudras were treated like animals in ancient India people who think otherwise are either blind or to naive to even notice the basic truth

@@akshayjadhav159 ohh ho
Is it true that Shivaji Maharaj and the bhonsale clan in general traces it's heritage to the sisodiya rajputs of Mewar? Because then maharana Pratap and chhatrapati Shivaji might have been part of the same bloodline. Also read about the similarities between the Rajput Confederacy of Maharana Sanga and the maratha Confederacy. It'd be really fascinating.
@Saurabh Marathe thank you! We're all the same people, a lot of Rajput Kings helped the Invaders out of compulsion and sometimes greed but Maharana Pratap's grandfather Maharana Sanga created a Rajput Confederacy, where all clans, some afghans and Muslim rajputs had a place. His vision was very similar to that of hindavi swaraj. He defeated the Gujarat sultanate and defeated Ibrahim Lodhi of Delhi Sultanate in two successive battles. However the crushing defeat against Babur resulted in the end of the greatest Rajput alliance in our history. It's sad that indian people know so little about their own heroes Rajputs, Marathas, Sikhs alike.

I hate It When someone Puts Rajputs name with maratha.....
Coz actually Rajputs were the people who actually gave their daughters to Mughals ...they may deny or cry over it but itihas Gawah h ....and who doesn't knw how they surrendered without fighting to many mughals and Britishers just to save their Forts and royal lifestyles....
Even today if u see Almost All the Maratha Forts are disintegrated as they fought and never surrendered and as they lost in the end the Forts were captured and damaged.....
But u will find all the forts in rajasthan Almost in perfect condition ...to the point that many of them are now running Hotels inside them in the name of royal Luxury
correct sir
Which Rajput are you talking about exactly?? The rajputs in the west coast of India?? I know some of them were defeated. But the Pahadi Rajputs were not anything like that ,Pahadi one were never conquered by anyone
But ordinary rajput had nothing to do with those idiots. We maratha still respect rajput
@@tihamah4362Bengali here the rajputs actually won most times in the beginning of their history

@@vikastiwari9300 you're right,
To add something there would have been Jahangir without hira kunwari, no shah jahan without jagat gosain
Mughal is the Persian word for mongol
But in truth shah jahan, Jahangir and even the tyrannical Aurangzeb had more rajput blood than turko Mongolian
The fact that we call it the "mughal " empire is cuz people like romila thapar and irfan habib will teach you how we lost to invaders
Babur hated India
But humayun's wife read the Ramayana
Akbar was born in a Sindhi rajput household while humayun was in exile
Akbar married hira kunwari "jodha bai " who birthed Jahangir
Jahangir married jagat gosain who was the real jodh bai
By shah jahan we're 75% rajput
Babur -0% Indian writes bad shit. about India in autobiography
Humayun - 0% Indian but wife had interest in indian culture, son Akbar born in a Sindhi rajput family
Akbar - 0% Indian BUT, had a Hindu best friend and wife, even travelled to rajasthan to listen to meerabai with birbal, ,read Upanishads , made entire buildings depicting Ramayana
Jahangir 50% Indian , unlike his ancestors babur loved mangoes, remade a temple at mathura ,married jagat gosain who birthed shah jahan
Shah Jahan was 3/4 th Indian
Had a thick moustache and beard
And if you do research deeper he may have accepted Hinduism in his final years , after being imprisoned by Aurangzeb
He said looking at the Taj Mahal "I'm a hypocrite, what Hindus believe is right "
So Taj Mahal is considered a monument of love but it is also as much as that a monument of guilt, shah jahan thought that he was the cause of mumtaz's death as he had forced her to have so many children
He was reaping the fruits of his misdeeds in this life, aka karam ka fal, unlike Islam which theorises that you'd suffer in afterlife
Lesson is you cant conquer India
You can come from outside and rule a piece of land ,but India
it's not a piece of land
The true India is it's linguistic cultural and religious traditions and most importantly it's people who will conquer you from the inside

Just as you release this video, There is a big political mess in the state of Maharashtra.
So basically there are four major political parties divided in camps of two, comprising of one national party and one regional party. Congress + NCP (left leaning) v/s BJP (the party of PM Modi) + Shiv Sena (right leaning).
So you need 145 seats to form govt.
The election results were
BJP 102
SS 56
NCP 54
Congress 44
Others
So you would think team (BJP+SS) has won it.
The SS ditched BJP and joined the opposition to form the govt because the BJP won't share the top job Chief Minister (CM) in the state with them for equal tenure ie both parties get it for 2.5yrs each.
Everyone was bewildered when BJP tried to breakup the NCP by sponsoring a coup, when early morning at like 5am, when everyone was sleeping the NCP no. 2 Ajit who is also the nephew of the party founder took oath of office for Deputy CM along with the BJP guy who took oath as CM. The NCP leader took oath of office claiming his party backed him even though the party and the party chief claimed they were going to form govt with NCP SS and Congress.
What had happened was the previous night all three parties met and were discussing the alliance, only a few things were left to discuss among which was who will be the CM, the leader of SS everyone said but he was reluctant and the alliance was largely agreed upon. They decided late at night to meet again the very next day and work out the last details.
The NCP prepared a letter saying we support the govt headed by with a blank where the name of SS chief would be put, attached was list of their winning candidates and their signatures. Ajit took this letter from the office, put the name of BJP guy in the blank space.
Both resigned yesterday as they couldn't prove the majority. Now the three parties will form a coallition govt presumably. Leaving the party with the largest numbers in election to sit in the opposition. This doesn't happen in two party system does it?
@@saurabhnaik7 So did Bajirao win?
@@saurabhnaik7Lol amazing. What a twist of events.
@@saurabhnaik7 Well in a 2 party system in the US Trump lost by 2 million votes but the Rajya Sabha style Electoral college that has disproportionate votes based on states E.g. Goa and UP both having 4 votes, made Trump the President as he won more states and not the most votes.
Democracy is far from perfect. And what you described happening in Maharashtra is the same that happened in the US on a Central govt level.

Even as a Pakistani i love Chattrapati Shivaji's personality and Maratha warriors unique courage. Huge respect to them. Jai Maharastra!
The history of India is truly fascinating ...Great vid!👌
I am in so awe of Marathi people and Maharashtra, that I married a Marathi 😊
Great work❤
Make sure you raise your kids with Maratha courage and compassion.
who were marathas :- the saviour of hinduism , the one who covered india with bhagwa , the one who fought for our holy land , the great maratha empire
jai bhawani , jai shivaji
Are u maratha?
The Marathas also established the First Navy in Pre-Victorian Era India !!!
Cholas had a navy long before maratha. They conquered southeast asia with their navy. Thats why combodia, thailand and such have Hindu temples
Hail Shivray from Uttar Pradesh 🙏🙏❤❤
South Asia has one of the longest and most interesting histories ever
Not "South Asia". India.
@@thisisanewusername4662 both
@Saksham Thakur indeed
You can read Shivaji maharaj history the most interesting on
This 6 min video cannot explain who was Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj... Go. N read all history first
Indirectly Bengal was also under their control as the Nawab agreed to pay 1.2₹million every year the Marathas. Marathas agreed to not invade Bengal.
If Marathas had won the third battle of Panipat then they would have been able to eliminate British company rule from Bengal and India would have never became a British colony.
Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was a monumental figure in history of India. From two small forts he expanded his empire gradually with many feats of personal bravery and heroism for which he is remembered even today. Despite his personal honour and bravery he was also an excellent administrator and he introduced innovative measures in a number of fields: Fort Construction, Agriculture, Warfare Tactics, etc. He built up Naval forces and also had network of spies throughout India. In the time when he was surrounded by rival empires he built up his kingdom to span nearly the entire India. He restored honour to Hindu religion and he was the one who realised the idea of Swaraj or self rule which continues to be influential till today. So he was a great soul of our country and we are eternally proud of him. If anyone's interested in reading more about him there's a book called "Challenging Destiny" by Medha Bhaskaran which details life of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaja. Jai Bhawani Jai Shivaji! Hari Aum
Always there with the quality content! Love your work Epimetheus!
Long Live Sivaji. Wonder why Hinduism is the most tolerant religion ?
Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
Because we allows people to live freely
Marathas are people who came with idea that land must be ruled by natives of place, swaraj (self rule) and not by invaders.
In India land was ruled by Persian and Turkic origin Indians and most of the taxes went to capitals for ex- mughals to Delhi. Local Indians (hindus and muslims) mostly worked for them or were semi independent state.
Turkic origin indians?
Maternal lineage isn't count in Muslim culture. So call them Turki-Afghani. They themselves never called Indian.
@@psuyog What is your definition of Indian. Only those who came before muslims? shahis,white huns,sakas,kushans. With time no such lineages remain. Few thousands who settled in India merged with Indians. Mughals are as much Indians as marathas.
@@atulgaonkar2230 Mughals are invaders and they are definitely not Indian.They spoke and had turkish and Persian culture
@@sayankumar5343 There is nothing as Turkish and Persian also then, they are two different people,and different cultures,much different languages. Most mughals even chief mughal rulers married Indians, architecture is also Indian. mughals were not invaders but permanent settlers of country and most importantly,ruled from Delhi.

@अखण्ड हिंदुस्तानyes
@अखण्ड हिंदुस्तानcorrect my hindi freind
To all those Muslims and anti-Maratha people claiming stupid things, Let me clear certain things that after Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb's death, Marathas broke them in independent princely states of Nizams of bengal, Nizams of Oudh and Nizams of Hyderabad which eventually weakened Mughals. Marathas placed their own puppet emperor on the throne of Delhi since Marathas couldn't rule from Delhi as their Capital lied in Maharashtra. The other reason were the Jats, Sikhs and other local kingdom as they couldn't afford a local empire on throne either. So, That's why nominal puppet mughal king was sitting on throne but he used to take orders from Marathas. Marathas and Sikhs were the only resisting force during this time. British waited for Marathas to demolish Mughals and once, they did, they captured the regions which were not under Marathas rule, This is how Marathas were continuously fighting. Now, The time came when British finally started a war with Marathas as there were no other major powers. Marathas were the sole rulers of most of subcontinent. They fought for 70 years with Marathas being the most powerful force of present day India and once, they were beaten, British finished the Sikh empire in just 1 year and finally captured the whole India. A note for all, British didn't fight Mughals but Marathas for 70 years to rule India.
Some people who are claiming about Muslim rule didn't initiate conversion, Look at Muslim population of whole subcontinent including Pakistan and Bangladesh, It's more than 650 million. You really think that these 650 million muslims today came from arab land or turkland or uzbekistan? No, 95% of them have indian ancestary and many of them actually shares indian surnames, many of them have Rajput ancestry too. India and China were always populous and that's why Islamic rule couldn't convert the whole India because of it's massive population otherwise India would have looked similar to Iran today(who were Zoroastrians). Marathas reduced the Islamization in india, If not for Marathas before british arrived, India would have had at least 50-50% share or even less of hindu-muslim population in the subcontinent compared to 60-40% hindu-muslim population today. If 500 more years would have given to Islamic rulers, India would have become a 100% islamic states but thanks to our warriors because of whom we are not cult followers..

EP, great video and I clicked so fast I worry about arthritis! The review of my History Degree on the remote subjects cannot be measured. A Simple thank you I hope is all that is needed.
The Marathas are Hindu warrior class ♥
Thank Marathas if you're not wearing scull caps
Muslims ruled India for 1000 years never forced someone to wear skullcap
@Pappu Rahul Khan if i give you historical evidence u will say its wrong or false , so lets assume its between 650-700 years this figure every historian agrees, was 700 years not enough to make majority of population muslim? Ask urself . In islam forced conversion is not accepted.
If u think maratha saved world from wearing skull cap ur a joke, ABBASID CHALIPHATE, UMYYAD CHALIPHATE,RASHIDUN CHALIPHATE,OTTOMAN EMPIRE EMPIRE,TATIMID CHALIPHATE heard of any these , of course ur so proud haven't read world history, each of this are muslim nation any of these can shred maratha empire into pieces, mughal empire so weaker compared to these nations you defeated them and saved the world.
@@lordturtle.100yearsago6
Where did I say they saved the world? I'm Indian and it's about india
Do you even understand the meaning of this comment?
Social mobility and religious tolerence...
And what they showed in bajirao mastani is a disgrace to the almighty truth
Social mobility cuz Maharaj had claimed to be off sisodia rajput caste. No one before Maharaj of warrior class became nobility.
Mastani was Muslim but kashibai raised all her sons and stepsons equally.
Truly great person

Even british calling Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj 1:27
@Curmudgeon he was talking about that time 16th cen
Let me tell you this, in the city of Pune (which was the capital of the Maratha Confederacy) the culture still lives on. People still follow the rituals, the houses they loved in still exist and people still are very much proud of the history.
Pune was capital of peshwa , Satara was capital of Maratha empire and raigad
I always get excited whenever you upload
Hell yea keep em coming
Magnificent video! 👏🏼🙏🏼
Very good video as always, Your animations are always amazing!
Cool bit of history.
It's almost the Indian version of the reconquista
What is it?
@@buzztube1738 The Reconquista were the wars against the muslims to reconquer Spain that took 700 years, from Pelagius defense in Covadonga in 722, to the catholic monarchs expulsing the muslims from Granada in 1492
Great Video!
Thank you for the video ☺️
So, even the Untouchable Caste was allowed high ranking positions at that time as well?
Yah they were
@@indrason6974 nope they weren't, infact Maratha empire was much more rigid in their cast based discrimination due to being lead by high cast brahmin peshwas.
Eg - the mahars being a prime example of the discrimination.
700 Megabytes chatrapati shivaji maharaj himself was a shudra
Yes our great king Shivaji never discriminated on basis of caste. Infact he even banned slavery in his kingdom which was mind you the mid 1600s. America abolished slavery in 1800s.
Parikshit Rao you’re referring to the Maratha empire in the early 19th century not 17th and 18th century. In the 19th century the Maratha empire no longer existed, different factions were practically independent. The Brahmin caste became dominant because they took over the role of pms again, while most other kingdoms remained anti caste system
Thank you for this wonderful and informative video. There are a lot of misconceived ideas and thoughts that have been ingrained into written history.
Being an Indian, I have learnt a lot from this video which was otherwise incorrectly taught to us.

Thanks a lot for making this video ♥️

Excellent video. Good work
Very well researched and made. Kudos!!
Power of India . Maratha always write and create unbeatable history . Jay hind 🇮🇳 Jay Maharashtra 🚩 Chatrapati shivaji maharaj ki jay 🙏❤️
@Uchiha Kapp so?
British nearly conquered every part of this planet.
@Uchiha Kapp
Modern-day Saudi Arabia came under partial domination; in the early 1900s, most of the Arabian peninsula transitioned from the Ottoman Empire to the British Empire, though the British left much of the peninsula's vast interior relatively untouched.
British did capture Afghanistan till 1842.
Also Nepal was poor af. Why would they capture a poor state?
British had once captured everything in Europe except Finland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Vatican City.
@Uchiha Kapp no bro
Nepal is very poor so the British didn't conquer it. Every riches and treasures were hidden in India not Nepal
@Uchiha Kapp Nepal is one of the poorest countries on this planet even without the British conquest.
@Uchiha Kapp I'm not in a mood to prove anything. Go check the stats. Don't get triggered easily when I say Nepal is one of the poorest countries on this planet. Just elevated landforms. You do know that Gorkha regiment was recruited by the British to fight WW1. Don't be delusional.
I was impressed with this video. I've only known bits and piece's of the Maratha's. Now I know a bit more. Thanks for that.
Thanks for this great video..

Thanks Again Epimetheus ...Kudos to You
Yet maratha quota was demanded. 😉
@@MrAnksh yup....I'm against any kind of quota... Including Maratha and So on...
With due respect. Maratha is not a caste, Bengali is not a caste, they are ethnicities.
@@sudiptobhadra3059 I totally agree the collective castes namely 12 baluteDaar and 18 pagads(pagad means folds in marathi) these communities usually refer collectively as Marathas. King Shivaji Raje was from a Kunbi family Kunbi is similar to a peasant class which primarily deals with farming either they do themselves the farmering or they become a large land owner and do it by using labour ...so basically if u ask today's Maratha (caste) it usually refers to that Kunbi, Kurmi castes which also consists of Deshmukhs, Desai, Sardesai, Jahagirdar(Shree Shivaji Raje was also a son of a Jahagirdar named ShahajiRaje).
I'm just clearing this up for non-maharshtrians .
I hope u get it.
And by all means this is absolutely absolutely RIGHT THAT - 'WHEN U TALK ABOUT MARATHA HISTORY OR LEGACY ITS ABOUT THE MARATHI AS A CULTURE AND NOT AS A CASTE AS I HAVE EXPLAINED ABOVE."
By historical perspective all who fought for and with Marathas are basically Marathas irrespective of their community or caste.
Can you please cover the Chozhan empire, they're very underrated despite of their accomplishments.
Cheers from Sydney 🇦🇺
