Radhikabai was a bright child, rather a child prodegy. Her grasping power was amazing and she was good at understanding complex things. Even as a child, she understood life and its unfairness. However, she was an optimist with tremendous faith or Vishwas in god. Although, as a kid she was fond of reason not rituals. She had high IQ and extremely high EQ that made her sensitive. That is why, when her Shrimant took her side so boldly, she felt the thud.  Painting Radhikabai Vishwasrao Peshwa Her intuitive heart told her that she was extremely lucky. Something inside her told her that she had no reason to fear. Somehow, bad luck would never come her way. She had seen her mother's worried face and overheard her conversations. Though she didn't understand the details, she knew her mother shuddered with Gopikabai's name.  That moment Radhikabai wanted to tell her mother that things would be alright. Shrimant fed her lovingly, morsel after morsel. In the end, Radhik...

She was 4 years younger than him. Both children would play whenever either would visit each other’s houses. At that time, she was not staying with him owing to her tender age. She would only visit her husband during festivities. Then she would stay there for a few days and go back home.  Kashibai would treat young Chimna and Rakhma with lot of love and care.

                              Mee Radhika- Book 3                                 The Starry Night At Shaniwarwada "Don't pay attention to Shrimant's mother. Nobody and nothing can harm shrimant. You know how he fought both Sindkheda and Udgir battles. But if you don't do shringar then he'll get angry with you." Radhikabai remembered that Shrimant Vishwasrao had sent half of the nation's silk sarees, gold jewelery, hair accessories and beauty products to her. He particularly took interest in her dressing and shringar. His aunt, Parvatibai, wife of Shrimant Sadashivrao knew that. Parvatibai was the most fashionable  of all Peshwa women. Along with being the only one to be trained in warfare and administration. She had the make-up and the defense kit with her. In her spare time, she would practice her defence l...

Chapter 4: Gopikabai Peshwa, The Politician "Fair in complexion, facial shape of a cut diamond and look of royalty. But Gopikabai Peshwa, did not treat him like one. Her purpose of getting pregnant and increasing the number of children was more, it seemed, to increase her clout." Madhavrao was little pale, having sort of fragile constitution. He was princely looking though but not as robust as his elder brother Vishwasrao Peshwa when was of his age. He was also a quiet child and obedient with curious honey dew eyes and having his nose inherited in right proportion from his mother and father. Undoubtedly, he had the Bhatt-Deshmukh stamp on his face. Fair in complexion, facial shape of a cut diamond and look of royalty. But Gopikabai, did not treat him like one. Her purpose of getting pregnant and increasing the number of children was more, it seemed, to increase her clout. The Young Shrimant Madhavrao I Peshwa Maybe in her mind, she thought having many children an...

The beautiful Parvatibai had a thin waist and killer smile Parvatibai Sadashivrao Peshwa: The Misunderstood Peshwe Woman I think to blame Parvatibai Peshwa has been a pretty unfair thing. One must also credit her for urging Savaai Madhavrao to write a letter to Bajirao ll for making him the Peshwa. After all, he was the one who encouraged the fiery Manikarnika to face the British fearlessly.   Parvatibai’s character has been destroyed by those who didn’t know that she found her way back home from Panipat on her own . Nobody helped her, she was also the one who urged the Dogra Rajputs to help her husband when everyone had turned their backs on him. Another fact is that, both she and Radhikabai - Shrimant Vishwasrao’s fiancee were trained in warfare and administration at AjinkyaTara by Chhatrapati. Therefore, they knew self-defense, the whole story of painting Parvatibai as a damsel in distress is done to save the skin of those who fled the field. The documents are ...

There have been such tremendous and desperate attempts to criticise Shrimant Sadashivrao Bhausaheb and Shrimant Vishwasrao for the so-called loss of Panipat that it makes one wonder the veracity of such claims. To this, some people will come up with examples of accounts usually in the school textbooks that describe Panipat-3 in one paragraph. They cite the following reasons for the loss of Marathas. 1. Bhausaheb went ill-prepared 2. He lacked the diplomatic and strategic skills. 3. He took his wife Parvatibai with him, instead of concubines. 4. Shrimant Vishwasrao was some 17 year old lad who knew nothing about "battle". 5. Bhausaheb jumped from his elephant after Vishwasrao fell. 6. This move spread panic and Bhausaheb couldn't control himself . 7. He fought without any strategy and senselessly. 8. He couldn't go back to Pune because Nanasaheb had warned him not to return without his son Vishwasrao. 9. Malharrao Holkar was a old wise man...
