Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c54.s3.9

v4.c54.s3.9

But the war was not pushed to a bloody end by the victors. Perron had to leave for Northern India immediately after his victory, in order to settle scores with the Sikhs and George Thomas. Ambāji arrived near Datiā (c. 20 May), but had to give up all designs against that town; he set on foot negotiations for reconciling the Bāis to Daulat Rao, and himself started (c. 2 June) for Narwar, en route to Mewār. The details of these negotiations can be read in *P.R.C.* ix. 255 and 40.† The Widows’ War now ended by being engulfed in a colossal contest between Daulat Rao Sindhia and Jaswant Rao Holkar, whose final result was the loss of Maratha independence.
