The great Maratha Warrior
India
was ale\ways a magnet for invaders. And invaders always found
resistance from local rulers. The most formidable resistance any
invader faced was mounted by the Marathas whose patriotic

concerted was the Maratha campaign that they set up the first
nation state in India.
