Madhu Rao Sindhia and Hindu Reconquest of India
The importance of this book is that the Maratthas under Madho Rao Scindia had rolled back the entire Mughal empire. The Mughal Emperor was confined to the precincts of Delhi and was an ineffectual power. The British had succeded the Marattha power and not the Mughal power. This is the crucial point to understand.
The myth of British overthowing the Mughals is a later creation for the H&D of the Muslims and came in the late 1800s.
Even in later period in Punjab, Maharaja Ranjit Singh was the paramount power who was replaced by the British after the Sikh wars.
So the British replaced Marattha and Sikh power at an all India level. Locally they replaced some Muslim rulers along with the others. But at macro level it was the Marattha and Sikh paramountcy that was replaced.
