Question

WHAT WERE THE MAIN CAUSES OF MARATHA FAILIURE IN THIRD BATTLE OF PANIPAT?

Answer 1

1) Boundaries of Maratha Empire expanded far and wide in all the directions which did not formally include kingdoms existing there like that of Rajasthan, Punjab, Bengal, Orissa, Karnataka, etc

2) These kingdoms were made to pay tribute to Marathas which was considered as token or symbol of accepting their supremacy

3) These conditions were not acceptable to these kingdoms and as a result they did not support Marathas during the third battle of Panipat
