Imagine giving up Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, AND Balochistan just to get some elephants. 💀
But what if I told you... those 500 elephants actually made Seleucus the most powerful man in the West? 🤯

Hey everyone, the wait is finally over! 🚩

Zari Pataka is officially back! And we're returning with a brand-new series on Indian History.

For far too long, many stories from India’s past have received limited attention, while the narrative we encounter often places greater emphasis on invasions and foreign rulers. Meanwhile, countless stories of our own civilization, kingdoms, thinkers, warriors, traditions, and achievements remain less familiar.

We believe those stories deserve to be told too.

That’s exactly what we’re bringing to you.

We’ve poured our hearts into making this upcoming series bigger, deeper, and thoroughly researched, with a strong focus on the Indic perspective. We’ll be exploring forgotten chapters, revisiting familiar ones, and bringing stories from India’s past to life in a way that is engaging, honest, and rooted in historical evidence.

The Undefeated Warrior's Final Stand 🚩

He crushed the Mughals, humbled the Nizam, and outmaneuvered the Portuguese. Peshwa Bajirao defeated every strong general of India in his time, proving his sword was the most powerful in Hindustan. 41 Battles. 0 Defeats.

But what happens when the one battle the invincible Peshwa couldn't win was against his own family?

In our Grand Finale, we bring you the heartbreaking final days of Bajirao. Separated from Mastani, alienated by his own people, and broken from within, watch how the man who conquered India breathed his last in a lonely military camp—leaving behind a massive debt, but a priceless legacy of Swarajya.

For a brief moment in 1739, the unthinkable happened: the ruthless Persian invader, Nadir Shah, sat on the throne of Delhi and declared himself the Emperor of Hindustan! 🔥

What followed was five hours of absolute carnage that shook the subcontinent to its core, along with the looting of the legendary Koh-i-Noor. But as Delhi burned, a massive question remains: Where was the undefeated Maratha General, Peshwa Bajirao? Why didn't he stand against Nadir Shah's massacre?

Uncover the full story of this dark chapter and find out what Bajirao was doing in our latest episode! 🎬🍿

While Peshwa Bajirao was crushing his enemies and securing the land, terrified Mughal nobles were busy hatching a treasonous plot in the shadows of Delhi.

Consumed by jealousy and fear of the Marathas, they committed the ultimate betrayal: they invited a ruthless foreign invader to destroy their own empire's rivals. 🔥

(The following excerpt is taken from James Fraser, author of the History of Nadir Shah).

Catch the complete story in our next episode, premiering tomorrow, 22-August! 🎬🍿

For 200 years, the Mughal Emperors believed their capital- "Delhi" was untouchable. But history was about to change! 🔥

When Muhammad Shah "Rangeela" backed out of his promises, Bajirao didn't just retaliate—he made a move so daring and unthinkable that it shattered the illusion of Mughal invincibility forever. Get ready for a totally unique vlog-style episode where you will experience this lightning-fast campaign straight from Bajirao himself!

(I will also be pinning Bajirao’s exact handwritten historical letter in the comments!)
