Peshwa's administration

The Peshwa's administration was the governing body of the Maratha Empire in 18th-century India, led by the Peshwa, who was the prime minister and de facto leader. They managed military campaigns, collected taxes, and maintained law and order across vast territories. While the Peshwa held significant power, they operated under a council of ministers and had to coordinate with local administrators and regional leaders. The administration emphasized efficient governance, military strength, and economic stability, enabling the Maratha Empire to expand and consolidate its influence in India during that period.
