Answer 1

because the neejams negotiate and collaborated to british

Answer 2

The following were the reasons for the defeat of Marathas by the British:

• Personal avenges: After the end of first Anglo-Maratha war, the Martha Empire was taken care by 5 chiefs namely Peshwa, Gaekwad, Shinde, Holkar and Bhonsle. The rise of one chief was intolerable by the other and created many personal aveneges among Marathas itself.  
• Greed for the seat of Peshwa: As Madhav Rao died, Raghunath Rao wanted to become the Peshwa for which he approached the Britishers seeking help.
• Lack of strong central authority: As the Peshwa kings were concentrating mainly on the central power, they failed to coordinate as well as cooperate between them.
