Plunder Of Pachet: Difference between revisions

Within two to three months, the Marathas had taken control of Orissa, Midnapur, Burdwan, parts of the Bäjsáhl zamindari, [[Birbhum]], and Rajmahal essentially, most of [[West Bengal]] and parts of [[Orissa]]. Only Murshidabad and the northern and eastern regions of Bengal remained under Alivardi Khan's authority. The lull in military operations during the monsoon of 1742 provided the Marathas an ideal opportunity to intensify their depredations across Burdwan, Midnapur, and Orissa, reaching as far as Dalkore. Historian Gangaram lists several key locations in the districts of Burdwan, Nadia, Birbhum, Murshidabad, Bankura, and Midnapur as having suffered from the Maratha invasions.
