Please read the history carefully. Marathis defended the invaders to protect themselves. But unfortunately Ahmad Shah Abdali defetead marathas. Long before that Porus, a non-marathi, fought against Alaxander. Also Hemu was one of the few kings who fought against Moghuls. Also the army of gurugobind singh which mainly had Hindus as soldiers paid a lot of sacrifices. I am not against Marathis but calling North Indians slave will not solve the problem.
