At Palkhed Bajirao achieved rare feat of having defeated an enemy army through maneuver alone
Bajirao continuously surprised the Nizam
Bajirao's eye for terrain was key
Surrounded Nizam from all sides with a forested ridge blocking movement North

Bajirao’s success depended on his light foray tactics
Mainly used his cavalry
2 riders had 3 horses
1 horse rested & 2 used
As a result his army could move 40 miles in a day and sustain this rate of advance for many days
Among fastest Speed during his time in world

"Night is not for sleeping but to engage enemy superior in numbers
Remember night has nothing to do with sleep created by God, to raid territory held by your enemy
Night is your shield, your screen against cannons and swords of a vastly superior enemy force”

He was true warrior, born to fight for Dharma 🚩
Bollywood didn't do justice to his true character by making him a "Mentally retarded Aashique" rather dishonoured him 🤷
Distorians didn't gave him space in history books only praised Mughols
Very conveniently cornered 😭
