Answer 1

Explanation:

Though initial hostilities between the sides started in 1770s, the actual warfare began on February 1785 and ended in 1787. It is widely believed that the war broke out as a result of the desire of the ever-expanding Marathas to recover lost territories from the state of Mysore.Anglo-Mysore Wars were a series of four wars between the British and the Kingdom of Mysore in the latter half of the 18th century in Southern India.Wodeyars are Rajputs/Kshatriya/Thakur.

Many Yadav Kshatriya migrated to different regions of India such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chattisgarh, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka etc.
