The effective control of the Peshwas ended with the great defeat of Panipat (1761) at the hands of the Afghans and the death of the young Peshwa Madhav Rao I in 1772. Thereafter the Mara?ha state was a confederacy of five chiefs under the nominal leadership of the Peshwa at Poona (Pune) in western India. Though they united on occasion, as against the British (1775–82), more often they quarreled. After he was defeated by the Holkar in 1802, the Peshwa Baji Rao II sought protection from the British, whose intervention destroyed the Confederacy by 1818. The Confederacy expressed a general Mara?ha nationalist sentiment but was divided bitterly by the jealousies of its chiefs.
Bhonsle Dynasty :
They ruled at Nagpur in present Maharashtra state and were a leading power in the 18th-century Mara?ha confederacy. They were British clients from 1818 to 1853. Raghuji Bhonsle of Berar founded the dynasty in 1730.
Gaikwa? Dynasty
Capital was at Baroda in Gujarat state. The state became a leading power in the 18th-century Maratha confederacy. The founder of the dynasty was Damaji I who had risen to power by 1740. The last Gaekwad, Sayaji Rao III, died in 1939.
Holkar Dynasty
The family, of peasant origin and of shepherd caste, was said to have migrated from the Mathura district to the Deccan village of Hol, or Hal, the name of which, coupled with kar(?inhabitant of?), became the family surname. The dynasty's founder, Malhar Rao Holkar, rose from peasant origins by his own ability. In 1724 Baji Rao I, the peshwa (prime minister) of the Mara?ha state, gave him command of 500 horses, and he soon became the peshwa's chief general in Malwa, with headquarters at Maheshwar and Indore.
Sindhia Dynasty
Maratha ruling family of Gwalior, which for a time in the 18th century dominated the politics of northern India. The dynasty was founded by Ranoji Sindhia, who in 1726 was put in charge of the Malwa district by the peshwa (chief minister of the Maratha state). At his death in 1750, Ranoji had established his capital at Ujjain; only later was the Sindhia capital moved to the rock-fortress of Gwalior.
