Solution

The Maratha empire wants to exapnd the deccan to chip away at the authority of the Mughal Empire, gradually, between 1720 and 1761. Malwa and Gujarat were seized from the Mughals by the 1720s. By the 1730s, the Maratha king was recognised as the overlord of the entire Deccan peninsula. He possessed the right to levy chauth and sardeshmukhi in the entire region.
