Interesting Map.
What this map doesn’t say is that ‘Marathas were collecting tax on behalf of Mughals according to Treaty of 1752’
Prior, Balaji Vishwanath got the Right to Taxation of Deccan by supporting Sayyid Brothers in 1719.
They’re “tributary states” of Mughal Empire !

In 1727 Bajirao made a treaty with Surbulund Khan for Tax of Gujarat, agreeing to throw out Dhabhade & Gaikwad from South Gujarat.
In April 1731, Bajirao marched with Maharaja Abhay Singh, Mughal Governor against Dhabhade-Gaikwad for taxation of Gujarat & ₹12 lakh in cash.

Then came the province of Malwa in 1736 the effete Mughal Emperor refused to recognise Bajirao as subahdar Of Deccan along with others demands.
1741, Balaji Bajirao got the treaty ratified for Taxation of Malwa, he’s is not overthrowing the suzerainty Of Mughal but as his Naib.

Another intriguing feature is Nizam.
He controls most of Maharashtra heartland while Marathas were ruling an Empire.
Nizam’s literally sleeping with his neighbours Marathas, while they are busy extorting Up North, strange.
But Yes, for convenience of narrative, an Empire surely

To be doubly sure, in 1772, the moribund Mughal Emperor was appointing Mahad Scindia as Vakil ul Mutalaq & Peshwa as Naib of Mughal Empire.
So if in 1772, it was Mughal Empire how was it Maratha Empire in 1759 ???
Strange Dichotomies 🤔
