His territory in the Deccan was already reduced by the capture of all his forts, including Chandore and Galna, which after a slight resistance surrendered to a division under Colonel Wallace by the end of October. His principal forts in Malwa were also occupied by British troops, and in the month of August, Indore, his capital, had been taken possession of without resistance by the detachment of the Bombay army from Guzerat. That division had been ordered to advance into Hindoostan for the purpose of endeavouring to intercept Holkar in his expected flight to Malwa, and it had reached Kotah by the end of December. The reduction of Bhurtpoor, however, was deemed necessary in order to cut off Holkar’s only asylum, after which he might, it was supposed, be followed up as a fugitive, and either taken prisoner or rendered insignificant. - [Previous: v2.c52.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c52.54) - [Next: v2.c52.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c52.56) - [Up: v2.c52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c52) ## Linked texts (1) - [Chandor](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.chandor) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c52.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c52.55) · Pramāṇa
