Page Extent:
This is a paperback edition of the book…The mid-eighteenth century began with the Marathas as the paramount power in India, and in the next two decades, they rose in power and prestige. In the Carnatic, Bengal, Rajputana, Malwa, Bundelkhand they were supreme, and in Delhi, the Marathas ruled while the Mughal king reigned. In this period when Nanasaheb Peshwa was at the helm, the Maratha power reached its zenith. But that was not the entire story. The events of the mid-eighteenth century are pivotal, and determined the course of the next five decades. The rise of the Europeans in the south and the east added a new dimension, so that this epoch eventually emerged as the crossroad of Indian history. This book narrates that engrossing story. The book is published in hardcover, with over 40 colour pictures on art plates and 27 maps and illustrations. The 500 page book is copiously annotated with over a thousand references and has a bibliography and a glossary along with an introduction to principal characters and important genealogies.

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.
