Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c50.8

v4.c50.8

Sindhiā is demanding payment of the sums advanced by him for the work of our Government. . . . Let our master consider how Sindhia alone has gained all the vast sums from the property of the Delhi Emperor, Afrāsiyāb Khan, and Ghulām Qādir, and the loot from Ismail Beg and [from the Rajputs] after the Patan and Mertā battles, besides many miscellaneous sums in ransom and revenue collection from smaller places. If our master takes these facts into account, Sindhia's claim to be a creditor to our Government will be seen to have no basis in fact. . .
