DESCRIPTION OF A MARATHA COURT πŸ‘‘
The European Annual Register Magazine Volume 1 for 1799 CE, records functioning of a Maratha Court.
Maratha Camps were considered impossible to be surprised as they were always circled by roving squadrons of Maratha Cavalry known as ShabΔ«nahs.
Then it is followed by beautiful description of how Hindu Maratha Courts are noble, civil, & straightforward compared to corrupt, hollow pompous Musallmān Courts.
Even the LOWEST stature person could get an audience with any Maratha Prince & receive attention to their problems.
Maratha Camping System as recorded by Live Eye-Witness at Kharda.
Maratha War-Camps were compartmentalized into 3 parts during movements against the enemy.
A Main Operations Base, a Baggage Base & an Advanced Guard Base. And all these three were surrounded by Shabinah horsemen.
Therefore the Marathas were among the most progressive military Empires in Asian history praised by their own enemies just a few years before war.
