In this book, Dr Stewart Gordon presents a comprehensive history of
one of the most colourful and least-understood kingdoms of India:
the Maratha Empire. The empire was founded by Shivaji in the
mid-seventeenth century, spread across most of India during the
following century, and was conquered by the British in the
nineteenth century. Using administrative documents of the Maratha
polity, family papers and Histories of the Empire, Stewart Gordon
explores the origin of the Marathas, their emergence as elite
families, patterns of loyalty and strategies for maintaining
legitimacy. He traces how the armies developed into European-style
infantry and artillery and assesses the economics that funded the
polity, especially taxation and credit. Finally the author
considers the lasting effects the empire had on administrations,
law and trade patterns of Central India, Gujarat and Maharashtra.
