Key Points

  • Maratha relations with Nizam ul mulk passed through a number of phases, and had a considerable bearing on Maratha activities in Malwa and Gujarat.
  • As the Viceroy of the Deccan, from 1715 to 1717, Nizam ul mulk resisted the Maratha claims for the Chauth and Sardeshmukhi of the Deccan, and was almost constantly at war with them - though with little lasting success.
  • After his successful rebellion against the Saiyids, Nizam ul mulk respected the Imperial farman granting the Chauth and Sardeshmukhi of the Deccan to the Marathas, but resisted the stationing of Maratha agents in the neighbourhood of the capital, Aurangabad.
  • Shortly afterwards, on January 4, 1721, he had his first meeting with Baji Rao.
  • Though Nizam ul mulk established friendly relations with the young Peshwa, no lasting agreement resulted.
  • The most important point of conflict between Marathas and Nizam ul Mulk was the Karnataka.
  • Nizam ul mulk looked upon the Karanataka as his by right of succession to the kingdoms of Bijapur and Golconda.

  • However, scant attention was paid to his claims by the Marathas who had been interested in the Karnataka at least since the time of Shahji, and had always regarded it as a kind of a happy hunting ground which they were determined to plunder and lay under contribution.
