"Negotiations & Preparations This Janjira campaign is a special example of the way the structure of the Maratha Confederacy was harmful for the expansion of the kingdom even after its strength was unlimited. Each and every Sardar knew that capturing Janjira was the first duty of the Swarajya in order to make the complete western coast carefree. Pratinidhi Peshwa Angre Fatehsingh Bhosale etc. Sardars were individually powerful and capable. But in the administration of the last five to seven years everybody had acquired such an experience that nobody would intervene in someone elses affairs."

"The Main Campaign The region to the north of the Bankot creek straight up to Revdanda from the coast right up to the base of the Sahyadris was the core of the Siddi possessions. Besides the Underi island near Mumbai Rewas Thal Bankot Jaigad Dabhol etc. many of the locations on the western coast were under their control. Using these harbours to mount the attacks on the adjoining Maratha realms had been the standard modus operandi of the Siddis for many years. Therefore the Marathas chose the objective to capture all these stations and then finally capturing Janjira to annihilate the Siddis."

"Threat to British Kanhoji had in his possession the island of Khanderi off Mumbai given to him by Shahu in [----] that the British claimed was part of Queen Catherines dowry granted to them by the Portuguese. These westerners had a firm and unreal assumption which had been formed over the years that they were the masters of the seas. That they had complete rights to surf its waves as they wished. If anybody else thought of getting into that they would vanquish them. Due to this assumption these westerners would call any other people or persons venturing out over the seas by the name pirates or"

"A New Plan A new plan was devised for the campaign upon Angres advice. The plan was the Peshwa to camp at Rajpuri in the monsoon and cut-off the forts provision lines; the force under the Pratinidhis control towards the south was to attack Anjanvel and cut-off one of the arms of the Siddis; and Sekhoji was to capture the northern stations of the Siddis like Rewas Thal and Underi to block the external provisions that Janjira kept getting from outside. https://ndhistories.wordpress.com/2023/09/25/a-new-plan/ Marathi Riyasat G S Sardesai ISBN-10-8171856403 ISBN-13-978-8171856404.

"Facile Treaty Since the primary question of the dispute was who was the master of the western seas British or Angre the result would always favour the more powerful of the two. Papering over differences and deep-rooted animosity a treaty was signed with the British in [----]. The British emissaries agreed for a treaty upon reaching Colaba as follows Kanhoji should not trouble any British vessels in his harbours; similarly any Angre vessels travelling to the Mumbai harbour and in the region from Khanderi up to Mahim should not be troubled by the British."

"The Maratha Weakness Bajirao was trying really hard to capture Janjira. Much of the realms under Abyssinian control had been captured. Only four to five strong stations like Janjira and Anjanvel remained in their hands. Still the Siddis were fighting with utmost passion. They worked all over and brought help from outside. They also began discussions to enter into a treaty with Shahu through the Nizam. Since there were some differences between the Pratinidhi and Peshwa the campaign never acquired the level of strength needed for a victory."

"Sekhoji Angre Dies One can see his respect and devout nature from the letters Sekhoji wrote to Bajirao and Brahmendra Swami. Sekhoji used to act sweetly and in a well-rounded manner with Bajirao Sambhaji Angre etc. everyone. He commanded awe and love from the female members of his household. He was not twisted like Kanhoji. His short life was a big loss to his own family and overall kingdom too. https://ndhistories.wordpress.com/2023/09/29/sekhoji-angre-dies/ Marathi Riyasat G S Sardesai ISBN-10-8171856403 ISBN-13-978-8171856404.

"Angre-British War On [--] April [----] a huge British armada attacked Vijaydurg. British opened up a great barrage over the fort but since Kanhoji too protected the fort with equal vigour and skill the British ended up with two hundred dead and three hundred wounded at the end of this battle and earning a big failure they had to return back to Mumbai (18 June 1718). https://ndhistories.wordpress.com/2023/04/24/angre-british-war/ Marathi Riyasat G S Sardesai ISBN-10-8171856403 ISBN-13-978-8171856404.

"Reason Behind Failure Bajirao had spent seven months in the Konkan and felt he had other matters to attend to. Habshan was largely won and Janjira itself rendered safe. The fragmented command structure in the Konkan with Shahu sitting in distant Satara led to a dilatory campaign against the Siddi. However mutual antagonism and jealousy between the Peshwa and the Pratinidhi were equally the cause. https://ndhistories.wordpress.com/2023/09/30/reason-behind-failure/ Marathi Riyasat G S Sardesai ISBN-10-8171856403 ISBN-13-978-8171856404.

"War Continues Bajiraos departure from the Konkan was a signal for Siddi Saat to begin reclaiming his losses. He began by attacking the fort of Bankot which he quickly captured. His next target was the prestigious fort of Raigad. Shahu alarmed at this fresh aggression dispatched Baji Bhivrao the Somvanshi brothers and Udaji Pawar to Konkan. A fierce fight ensued at Pachad with the Siddis forces almost to the gate of the fort. In a fierce battle on [--] January [----] Udaji Pawar killed Siddi Ambar Afwani. https://ndhistories.wordpress.com/2023/10/01/war-continues/ Marathi Riyasat G S Sardesai"

"Shahu's Efforts Shahu had also asked Sambhaji Angre to help in the war against the Siddi. Sambhaji wrote a reply in early December [----] where he described the barren state of the land shortage of funds the help the Siddi was receiving from the British and the Portuguese and the strong defences of Gowalkot and Anjanvel. If Shahu could send funds food and fodder from the plateau the campaign could be taken up after the monsoons. However according to Sambhaji the navy had a small part to play in reducing these forts. https://ndhistories.wordpress.com/2023/10/02/shahus-efforts/ Marathi Riyasat G"
