Administrative System of the Marathas c30.156

The Times Literary Supplement *.Thursday 10, May, 1923.* "As in the case of the Great Napoleon, Shivaji the Conqueror has always been more attractive to historians than Shivaji the Administrator, and less than justice has been done to his constructive ability. Dr. Surendranath Sen has written a scholarly analysis of the Maratha administration under Shivaji and the Peshwas, and in spite of a natural bias in favour of his own country-men he can claim to have proved that the Maratha Government will at least bear favourable comparison with and was in some respects superior to, those of contemporary Europe."
