Chauth was a one-fourth or 25% levy collected from neighbouring states in return for non-aggression. Sardeshmukhi was a one-tenth or 10% tribute. They were different taxes.
The settlement negotiated by Balaji Vishwanath and the Sayyids, confirmed in 1719, obtained Mughal recognition of Shahu’s Swarajya and Chauth/Sardeshmukhi claims in six Deccan Subahs, subject to obligations.
The Third Battle of Panipat was fought on 14 January 1761. Ahmad Shah Abdali of Afghanistan, not the Mughals, defeated the Marathas. The Peshwa at the time was Balaji Baji Rao.
The Peshwa began as prime minister in the Ashtapradhan. Bhat family succession began with Baji Rao I in 1720; practical authority became predominant under Balaji Baji Rao, especially after Shahu’s death.
First Anglo-Maratha War = Warren Hastings. Second = Lord Wellesley. Third = Lord Hastings. Warren Hastings and Lord Hastings were different people associated with different wars.
