The Peshwas were mightily jealous of the power and the prestige of the Bhonsles of Nagpur in Northern India and modern Maratha historians rightly deplore the long-standing jealousy between the sons of Bājī Rāo I and Raghujī Bhonsle I, which prevented the latter from sending succour to the unfortunate Nawāb Siraj-ud-daulah on the eve of the fateful battle of Plassey, where a Maratha contingent added to the faithful bands of bodyguards under the faithful Mīr Mardān ’Alī and Rājā Mohan Lāl and the French troops under M. St. Claire might have changed the course of Indian history.
