In 1737, General Bajirao of the Maratha Empire attacked Delhi and defeated an inexperienced Mughal general sent with 8,000 troops to stop the 5,000 Maratha cavalrymen. That same year, the Marathas also routed the Mughal Army's commander in chief at Bhopal, marking the ultimate loss of the Mughal Empire. As a result of these defeats, the Mughal Kingdom was essentially destroyed.
