Rediff has covered this info in an article of General Palit , today..
The Marathas fought a glorious guerrilla war against the Mughal empire for 22 years and ultimately destroyed Mughal rule in India. How is it that against the British, the same Marathas gave up so tamely?' It was this that launched me on a quest that brought out that indeed, the Marathas fought the British equally bravely and the outcome at Assye and Wadgaon battles was a Maratha victory. But subsequently, since they ended up losing the war, this real history was buried under a pile of lies. The task of correcting distortions in our history is indeed gigantic, but it is General Palit who has initiated this long, thousand-mile journey.

Dear Pandey ji what was the reason for revolutionary battle by maratha against Mogul since more than thousands or majority of Hindu Raja / Maharajas were placed comfortably under Delhi Badshahat of mogul or centre delhi Because will of self autonomy .
Today we see India is big country under capital of Delhi inspite of diversified culture and languages and this credit goes only to Mughal .
Mughal or any Badshah of Delhi fought battle against only those Hindu Raja or Muslim Badshah ( Chand bibi , Adil shah bijapur , gol kunda are some example ) who were not ready to be adminstered / ruled under centre Delhi
if same forces emerge today against centre as it was during mughal . would you certify them loyal . or do you have double parametres
