Honoring the valiant sacrifices made by Sadashivrao Bhau and over 100,000 other Marathas - 260 years ago this day (Jan 14, 1761) on the plains of #Panipat (over 1500 km away from their homes).

They died defending the country against a foreign invader.

See below, couple of quotes by HG Rawlinson, about Sadashivrao Bhau and the 'Battle of #Panipat' - from @MulaMutha's great book "Solstice At Panipat".

The battle was lost... but the mission to push back the invader succeeded - Abdali never returned again.
