c7.s8.264

In 1720 the rights of the Maráthás were acknowledged by the Emperor of Delhi, and the Konkan was included in what was called the Svaráj or Home-rule, over which from this time forward the Musalmáns retained no authority whatever. The various provinces were then assigned to the different great officers of state, and the Chitnis thus got charge of a great part of the Konkan, Angria retaining the part already granted to him and being very formidable to all his neighbours.³ Details of the history of his family and of their relations with other powers will be found in the next section.
