What were some of the changes introduced by Balaji Bajirao in the Maratha administration?
Balaji Bajirao took on the Peshwa's office after the death of Shahu. He disbanded the peasant warrior band. He even changed the capital from Satara to Pune. Power was now concentrated in the office of the Peshwas. Soldiers were no longer allowed to retire or live away from towns and forts. They were paid soldiers who were trained as horsemen and infantrymen.
