The Story of a Warrior Who Never Lost.

In this episode of Kissey Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Sumedh to peel back the layers of Maratha history. Beyond the cinematic romance lies the story of Shreemant Peshwa Bajirao I, a military genius who fought 41 major battles and remained undefeated.

From the guerrilla warfare (Ganim-Kava) inherited from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to the strategic "lightning strikes" that paralyzed the Mughal Empire, we discuss how the Marathas became the de facto rulers of India in the 18th century.

Key Highlights:

    The Nizam Rivalry: Why the Nizam of Hyderabad respected Bajirao despite being his biggest enemy.

    The Portuguese Defeat: The brutal siege of Vasai and the story of the "Church Bells" in Hindu temples.

    Mastani’s Truth: The political and spiritual reality of the Princess of Bundelkhand.

    The Final Vow: How the Marathas fulfilled the dream of Hindavi Swarajya.
