- **Language:** English

### [v4.c50.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c50.3)

Sindhia has been telling the Peshwā:—"I am a sardār equal in rank with Holkar. By my own exertions I have reconquered territories \[in Hindustan\] and out of them given Holkar his fair share, and also additional lands worth five lakhs a year in order to satisfy him. And yet our master does not consider it necessary to allot a task to him \[in our master’s business.\] Holkar does not keep even the quota of troops proportionate to his fief. His total unspent balance \[of income from his fief\] amounts to ten lakhs a year. Speak to him on this point and send him to campaign in Patiālā or Kathiāwād-Kach-Bhuj. If he cannot undertake this task, recall him and keep him in the Desh country. He has done harm to my military undertakings at several places by his hostile intrigue. I can prove it against him. Let our master judge the matter and decide who is to blame, he or I."
