Question

2 who convinced maratha Sardars in favour
of shahu maharaj​

Answer 1

Balaji Vishwanath was sent by Shahu Maharaj to fight against him. 4. However, the war was avoided by Balaji, who then convinced Kanhoji to support Shahu Maharaj.

Answer 2

The person who convinced was Balaji Vishwanath.

• Balaji was from the Konkan region, and the Maharaj had directed him to battle.
• He was capable and knowledgeable and explained to Sardars, how Maharaj was the true Maratha heir and sufficiently convinced them to associate with his cause.
• On the other hand, he managed to escape the fierce battle by persuading Kanhoji to back Shahu Maharaj.
• He typically prevented a battle with Maharani Tarabai's head of the Maratha Navy, Kanhoji Angre, by persuading him to help Shahu Maharaj.
