With popular anecdotes in Maratha history like “Dh cha Ma” or “Attock se Cuttack tak,” have you ever wondered about the stories behind the Maratha victories and eventual decline? The Mumbai Research Centre of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai is hosting a lecture with Dr Uday Kulkarni on his latest book, Raghoba: The Assassination of Narayan Rao Peshwa (Mula Mutha Publishers), as part of their Bombay Booked series, which features book discussions focused on Bombay, the Bombay Presidency, and Maharashtra. 

Dr Kulkarni’s book delves into the pivotal 22-month-interregnum that determined the course of Maratha history in the 18th Century and beyond, when the political landscape swerved from peace and stability to war and uncertainty. The session will be chaired by Narendra Murkumbi, founder of Murkumbi Itihas Upakram, who has published several books on history.
