Event Description

The story of Raghoba – or Raghunathrao – is a captivating tale that spans across eras. It picks up the threads from the death of his nephew Madhav Rao in 1772. Raghoba, the son of the renowned Bajirao Peshwa, was once hailed for his exceptional military skills and talent for intrigue. However, he later succumbed to his indolence and ambition, crossing a line from which there was no turning back. This account in author Uday S Kulkarni’s book Raghoba, drawn from contemporary sources, pulls the reader into a vortex of a plot to commit murder and its aftermath, searing Raghoba, burning his nephew, and plunging the Maratha Empire into a crisis. The politics of the time, the many characters who strode the stage of History. They speak to us through their original letters which will take the reader to the very core of the story and give a ring-side view of the events over a nearly three-year period…

A talk by Uday S Kulkarni will be followed by a conversation with Amit Paranjape and a Q&A session with the audience.
