Listen Later

The Peshwa makes a one last attempt to assert Maratha sovereignty. The Peshwa ultimately surrendered in June of 1818. But some of the Maratha leaders kept fighting till 1919. Ex. The fortress of Asirgarh was lost by Maratha commander Jeswant Rao Lar after a long siege and battle from East India Company in April 1819.

While Amir Khan had surrendered early on. the Pindari leader, Karim Khan, surrendered after some fights. Chitu Khan ran away into the forests and remained in hiding till he was killed by a tiger.

A funny thing to note: after Indian independence Cheetahs went extinct(1947-52) but the Tigers were saved with the Save the Tiger mission (Project Tiger, started in 1973)
