An eye witness account of the biggest battle of the 18th century. Written in 1761, a few months after the battle of Panipat by Raghunath Yadav. This complete, original and earliest account of the campaign of Panipat is sourced from documents at the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland. It has been printed in its original form as well as an English translation with footnotes, introduction and an appendix. This document was taken to England by Sir Charles W. Malet with the intention of writing the History of the Marathas along with other documents. Malet also wrote a summary of the History of the Marathas for Governor General Cornwallis in 1787. This summary from the time of Chhatrapati Shivaji to the year 1787, is published for the first time in this book as an appendix. This six page summary is sourced from the British Library at London. Note -The book has 124 pages including six pages of the original ‘modi’ pages. It has value to those interested in what was written about Panipat’s war months after it was over, who would like to read this source in the original language of the time and to English readers who have not had an opportunity to ever read this bakhar. This is not a novel or piece of fiction. The original author’s work – that was hitherto available in an incomplete form – is presented here with a translation.

About Author
Uday S. Kulkarni is a Surgeon by training and practises his art in Pune, India. His interest in History dates to his school days. His grand father was a teacher of History and he was introduced to the basic tenets of History at a very young age. He is an alumnus of the prestigious Armed Forces Medical College at Pune. In 1979 he joined the Indian Navy, did his post graduation in Surgery from the then Bombay University and served in the Defence forces for sixteen years before voluntary retirement in 1995 in the rank of Surgeon Commander. On return to Pune, where he began his surgical practice, he completed a post graduate Bachelor's Degree in Communication and Journalism at the University of Pune with Distinction, standing first in the University. While continuing to work as a Surgeon, he wrote articles in several publications as he gradually returned to his love for History. In 2009, Uday S. Kulkarni began research on the Third battle of Panipat, an event of national importance. He visited Delhi, Panipat, Gauripur, Kunjpura, Shukratal, Najibabad and Pathar garh; where the events of 1760-61 took place. He then began writing this book, which he completed in January 2011, around the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the battle. In Pune, the author continues the practice of Surgery while he pursues his interest in History. Further books are planned, and these promise many interesting years of research and writing in the future. He is also interested in civic and environmental issues and has lent his weight and voice to the preservation of open and green spaces in the city of Pune.
