The Maratha Empire was an Indian imperial power that existed from 1674 to 1818. At its peak, the empire covered much of South Asia, encompassing a territory of over 2.8 million km².The Marathas are credited for the re-establishment of Hindu rule in India.

The empire was founded and consolidated by Chhatrapati Shivaji Bhosale. He created an independent Maratha kingdom with Raigad as its capital,and successfully fought against the Mughals to defend his kingdom.The Maratha Empire waged war for 27 years with the Mughals from 1681 to 1707, which became the longest war in the history of India. The Marathas eventually emerged victorious. Shivaji pioneered "Shiva sutra" or Ganimi Kava (guerrilla tactics), which leveraged strategic factors like demographics, speed, surprise and focused attack to defeat his bigger and more powerful enemies.
