Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c58.s6.11

v4.c58.s6.11

∗ According to the *Amirnāmah* of Basawan Lal (my ms. 227) Sindhia himself took part in this charge, "he pierced the English line and beating them reached their rear, whence he charged back and regained his own troops." The leader of this attack, I believe, was Jādo Rao Bhāskar, his dīwān, leading the *Huzurāt* or Household Cavalry of the Raja. His feat was noticed, and it was also noted that this Maratha hero was shot by the 19th in the Juah *nālā*. Now, we know that Jādo Rao was the only leader shot in the *nālā*. No common Maratha trooper's death in the *nālā* would have been noticed by the English. Anand Rao Nimbālkar was another captain of Sindhia who fell among the cavalry. Gulgulé, 15 Oct., Kharé, xiv. 6749.
