v1.c28.22

¹ [Ahmad Shāh, as an Afghan, was in sympathy with the Rohillas; as a devout Musulmān, he resented Marāthā aggression on his co-religionists in Hindustan. ‘The cup of his fury was full; and he resolved to bring to a decisive issue his quarrel with the Hindu power which had thus crossed his track of conquest, ill-treated his allies, and made war on true believers.’ (Owen, Fall of the Moghul Empire, p. 239.)]
