This expansion threatened Afghan interests.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>Attack of Durrani: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the Marathas were striving to increase their control in the Northwest of India, Durrani attacked the Mughal capital and left with the treasures he sought.

The Maratha forces reached the Panipat region and established a fortified camp. Ahmad Shah Abdali's forces surrounded the Maratha position and attempted to cut off their supplies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Prolonged Stalemate:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The Marathas were trapped for months, facing food shortages, lack of supplies, exhaustion, and disrupted communication, while Abdali maintained the blockade.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Maratha Attack (14 January 1761):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The Marathas launched a desperate attack to break the blockade.

Ahmad Shah Abdali won the war but returned to Afghanistan, leaving a political vacuum that helped the British East India Company rise to power.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><b>Reasons Behind the Maratha Loss: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Durrani's forces had a larger and better-equipped army compared to the Marathas, whose lighter artillery struggled against the Afghans' heavy guns.<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, conflicts among Maratha leaders and the lack of support from other local rulers left them alone and far from their capital in Pune.<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>Ahmad Shah Abdali<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was regarded as one of the best generals, with a strong knowledge of effective methods for winning battles<\/span><b>.<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following the Third Battle of Panipat, <\/span><b>Shah Alam II<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> became the Mughal emperor of Delhi. However, Abdali did not establish permanent Afghan control over Delhi, and the political instability of North India continued.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Marathas gradually rebuilt their strength after the battle.
