From the forces of islam,

#Lie_1 : Nawab Nasir Jung didn't burn Puna & Sir John Malcom is wrong.

Sir J. Malcom’s account (based on contemporary observatory) can't be rejected with mere words.

We have two more contemporary sources that mentions of Nasir Jung ravaging Puna. (Siyar & Hadiqat)

[1/6]
#Lie_2 : An English letter from Bombay speak of Bajirao's victory.

No such letter exists, if it does then at least cite reference.

Instead, 2 contemporary EIC letters (dated 19th March 1740) mention of Nasir Jung’s victory.

[2/6]
#Lie_3 : Chimaji Appa's letter of 8 March 1740 speak of Bajirao's victory.

The letter talks of a skirmish where Nasir Jung was reinforced and small fall back of Phirangoji Pawar, maratha general of Nasir's small right wing detachment not of whole Mughal army.

#Myth_1 : “Marathas confined Mughal rule only till Delhi in 1770”.

Map posted by @Aabhas24 indicates that Mughal empire is vast than Maratha nobility (part of Mughal empire).

Mirza Najaf Khan (1773 - 81) will conquer more in comming years & extend Mughal territories.

#Myth_2 : “Hyderbad, Awadh etc were independent from direct Timurid rule”.

Chhatrapati of Satara (officially a slave of Mughal emperor) didnt even control a single town properly, leave aside all these lands which you show as “maratha dominions”.

#Myth_3 : “Maratha conquered Attock and Punjab”.

Mughal forces conquered Attock and Punjab led by Nazim Adina Beg and Subahdar Khawaza Mirza Khan.

Marathas accompanied them as “vassals” according to the treaty with Emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur.
