Bhao : Sadāshiv Rao was a first cousin (bhāo) of Bālāji Bāji Rao (son of Bāji Rao I), the 3rd Peshwa, & one of his generals. In 1747, Ahmed Shah Abdali (d.1772) a commander of Nadir Shah (q.v.) seized Kandahar, Kabul & Lahore; in 1757 he attacked the Moguls, plundered Delhi, Agra & Mathura & withdrew to Kandahar. The next year he returned with a larger army, reinforced by the Afghan-spawned Najib-ud-daulah of Rohilkhand, laid siege to Emperor Shah Alam II’s Delhi, assured that Shah Alam’s Wazir Shuja-ud-daulah (Nawab of Oudh) & his ally the British octopus would stand by waiting to share in the spoils of war. Ignorant of this conspiracy, the armies of the Maratha Confederacy led by Bālāji Bājirao, treaty-bound to fight for Shah Alam II “as protectors & auxiliaries”, that had taken the field against invaders were caught in the trap. This set the stage for the legendary 3rd battle of Pāṇīpat (q.v.). Encouraged by Bhao’s resounding victory over the Nizam the previous year, Bālāji had placed the Confederacy’s armies under his command. Sadāshiv Rao & scores of veteran generals & warriors died or disappeared.
