The Maratha cities of Pune and Nagpur already had dark pasts. The Bhosales of Nagpur were distantly related to these Bhosales of Pune. The Nagpur Bhosales had been campaigning elsewhere and did not get decimated at Panipat. The destruction of Pune by Janoji was avenged when the Peshwa’s and Nizam’s armies plundered and burned Nagpur. Pune and Nagpur rebounded in time - and even these events pale in comparison to later Maratha misfortunes.
