The Battle of Kharda also called the Battle of Khurla, took place in 1795 between the Nizamate of Hyderabad and the Maratha Confederacy, in which the Nizam was defeated.[1][2]

During the Battle

Governor General John Shore followed the policy of non-intervention despite Nizam being under his protection. This led to the loss of trust with the British. This was the last battle fought together by all the Maratha chiefs, under the leadership of Parshurambhau Patwardhan. The Maratha forces consisted of cavalry, including gunners, bowmen, artillery and infantry.[3]Шаблон:Pn

After several skirmishes the Nizams infantry under Raymond launched an attack on the Marathas but Scindia forces under Jivabadada Kerkar defeated them and launched a counter attack which proved to be decisive. The rest of the Hyderabad army fled to the fort of Kharda. The Nizam started negotiations and they were concluded in April 1795.[4]Шаблон:Pn
