v2.c15.s10.1
In the Mahratta scheme of aggression upon Hindustan, or India north of the Narmada, the rich province of Malwa† was selected by the Peshwa Baji Rao as his special prey. From the year of his appointment (1720), he sent annually a detachment from Khandesh into Malwa, but did not cross the Narmada in person until the end of 1724. At first his stay in the province was never very prolonged, affairs at home and the intrigues of Nizam-ul-mulk demanding his constant attention in the south.
