Between 1720 and 1761, the Maratha empire expanded. Between 1720 and 1761, the Maratha empire grew. Another strong regional monarchy that emerged as a result of persistent resistance to Mughal control was this one. With the aid of strong warrior families, Shivaji (1627–1680) built a strong kingdom (Deshmukh). The Maratha empire expanded between 1720 and 1761. It steadily reduced the power of the Mughal Empire. By the 1720s, Gujarat and Malwa had been liberated from the Mughals. By the 1730s, the Maratha king had seized control as the supreme ruler of the whole Deccan peninsula. He had the power to tax Sardeshmukhi and Chauth throughout the area. Following a raid on Delhi in 1737, the Maratha Empire soon grew, annexing the regions of Rajasthan and Punjab in the north, Bengal and Orissa in the east, and Karnataka, Tamil, and Telugu in the south.
