You all know about the unbroken success of Marathas against afghans & rohhilas in 1757-58

Yes, It's indeed Maratha Vs. Rajput Battle

Look at his audacity
He didn't even showed single contemporary document to counter his argument

Fact :- Contemporary document shows nothing about this issue.
Malharrao's wife died in October 1771 and that's why he was busy in her final rites.
