Answer 2

Answer:

The Marathas wanted to expand beyond the Deccan to control trade and agriculture and therefore receive tribute.  With the help of the rich and effective administrative system, they could think of expanding beyond the Deccan for more power and resources. The success of the Marathas lay in bypassing the fortified areas of Mughals by raiding cities and engaging Mughal armies in areas where their supply lines and reinforcements could be easily disturbed.
