Great Marathi Rulers!

Marathas had three major kingdoms: (a) Peshwas of Pune, (b) Holkars of Indore and (c) Scindias of Gwalior. Is it not true:
(a) These kings were fighting with each other all the time and killed so many of their fellow Marathis in the process. Don't believe me! Just go and check wikipedia. With so many fights amongst themselves they had no time or energy left to fight britishers.
(b) They were very opportunistic and collaborated with any foreign ruler whenever needed. Scindias were a great collaborator of the British and even got Jhansi ki Rani killed in the process.
With all these 'fabulous' things about Marathis, actually I am extremely ashamed of these people and am embarrassed to call them compatriots.
