Fall of the Mughal Empire v3.c34.s7.5

v3.c34.s7.5

∗ Pathargarh.—Miskin 281-282. G. Ali, ii. 296 (scanty.) Muna Lal 128. Ibrat. i. 208-210. DC. Bihari Lal (in I.H.Q.) Khare's assertion that all the Maratha women dragged into servility by the Ruhelas from the Bhau's camp at Panipat were liberated at this capture of Pathargarh, finds no support in any contemporary record in Persian or Marathi, nor does he cite any authority. (iv. p. 1888.) "The Marathas defaced the curious workmanship of Najibuddaulah's tomb" at Najibabad, [Atkinson, N. W. P. Gazetteer, v. 352] but did not "demolish it" as Khare writes.
