Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c54.s1.23

v4.c54.s1.23

Only 19 days after this victory, Lakhwā Dādā was compelled to flee from Daulat Rao's army and rise in rebellion again, owing to news of his ungrateful master's treacherous blows at his Shenvi officers, including himself and Jagu Bāpu, (5 May 1800). The Widows' War broke out afresh, and next month these ladies proceeded to Ujjain to set up a rival Government in the North. For their defence Lakhwā Dādā was recalled to Mālwa from Rajputana (early November 1800).
