Answer 2

Explanation:

The Maratha Empire (also transliterated, Mahratta), or the Maratha Confederacy, was a Hindu state located in present-day India. It existed from 1674 to 1818. At its peak, the empire's territories covered 250 million acres (1 million km²) or one-third of South Asia. The state was ruled by a series of Prime Ministers who were advised by a Council of eight. As the British expanded their presence in India, the Marathas represented a major threat to their territorial ambitions.

After fighting a series of wars with the British, the Marathas were defeated in 1818. Under British paramountcy, various princely states emerged from its ruins. However, the spirit of the Maratha Empire lives on in the Indian state of Maharashtra, "Great Nation," which was created in 1960 as a Marathi-speaking state. Traditions, such as social mobility regardless of caste and religious pluralism, continue to characterize life in this part of India. Although the empire had been pitted for many years against the Muslim Moghul Empire, it was marked by a policy of Religious tolerance, which had been one of the fundamental beliefs of Shivaji, the empire's founder. In a world that too often seems divided by religion and class, the story of a polity where anyone of talent could succeed, where people had liberty to practice their faiths without persecution or discrimination, needs to be heard. Only by placing such accounts alongside those of intolerant societies and of the religious conflict can a more balanced history of how people of different religions interact be constructed.
