Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c47.s2.19

v4.c47.s2.19

Such was the domestic history of Mārwār on the background of which we must study the course of that State’s dealings with the Marathas and the payment of the subsidy promised by its Government to the Peshwā after the murder of Jayāpā Sindhiā in 1755 (Ch. 18 § 7.) To the unpaid balance of that subsidy and compensation other grievances had been added. Ajmer fort which the Marathas had taken on 21 February 1755, had been recovered by the Rajah of Jodhpur on 24th December 1787,—the city below it having been occupied by him on the 27th August before.
