Expert Answer
The term 'Peshwa' means Chief minister. After Shivaji’s death, the Peshwas become powerful and controlled the Maratha empire from 1713 to 1761. The Maratha power expanded under the Peshwa BalajiVishwanath and Baji Rao I. By 1737, Maratha influence extended over Malwa, Gujarat, Bundelkhand and the outskirts of Delhi. Baji Rao I captured Salsette and Bassein on the Konkan Coast from the Portuguese. He, however, paid little attention to the administration of the newly acquired territories. Under Balaji Baji Rao the Marathas established their influence over the Carnatic. They won vast territories from the Nizam of Hyderabad and from the rulers of Mysore. They also brought Malwa and large parts of Bundelkhand under their direct control. The effective control of the peshwas ended with the great defeat of Panipat (1761) at the hands of the Afghans and the death of the young peshwa Madhav Rao I in 1772.
