| | The rise of the Marathas is as much due to individual leaders as the collective will of the people, and this is evident from the fact that there are the most unlikely heroes at different times. | | | It is said that this was done because the Maratha king Shahuji, who was brought up in Mughal captivity, had a soft corner for them to deliver the coup de grace. | | | This oversight would remain not only a regret but also a blot on an otherwise brilliant and systematic rise of the Marathas in general and Baji Rao in particular. |

| | Although an uneasy peace was forced on the Ruhelas, Safdar Jang continued with his Maratha-Jat alliance, for by 1753 the Sunni Turks at Delhi had joined a conspiracy for overthrowing the Persian and his acolytes. | | | Robbed of its natural leaders, abandoned by the foreign mercenaries, and deprived even of a robust peasant-king, the Jat kingdom became a minor factor in North Indian politics. | | | But the biggest coup of these invaders was getting the Shia Nawab of Avadh and his predominantly Hindu infantry (Purbias) to join them. |
