Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Marathas established a very effective military structure while ruled by the Peshwas. They were successful because they avoided the Mughals' fortified strongholds, carried out city raids, and engaged the Mughal army in places where their supply lines and reinforcements could be easily disrupted. To lessen the dominance of the Mughals, Marathas desired to reach beyond Deccan. To assert the right to collect Sardeshmukhi and Chauth throughout the area. In the years 1720–1761, the Maratha empire expanded. It progressively undermined the Mughal Empire's power. Malwa and Gujarat had been reclaimed from the Mughals by the 1720s. By the 1730s, the entire Deccan peninsula had accepted the Maratha ruler as its supreme ruler.
