Answer
- Ahmed Shah Abdali was the independent ruler of Afghanistan. He plundered Delhi and Mathura.
- At this time Marathas too were emerging, powerful in North India.
- They challenged the Afghan Viceroy in Lahore and drove him away.
- Thus, the Marathas and not the Mughals, were locked in battles against foreign invaders, the Afghans.
- The second battle was fought at the famous battleground at Panipat in 1761. The Marathas were defeated and completely routed.
