Marathas literally made Brits bloody to their aim to conquer India and Bengali's crippled them to the point that they decided that better leave India alone. I remember one incident where the Bengal Famine of 1943 was planned and approved by Winston Churchill to exterminate the Bengali race completely as he understood it is impossible to subdue the Bengalis and the situation in Bengal is going out of hand.
True
Marathas caused so much damage that Britishers had to construct the Maratha ditch
The Borgi clan I think it was
1943 Bengal Famine is also mentioned Byomkesh
Winston had become extremely desperate
But not just Netaji
Even Khudiram, Bhagat Singh , Suraj Sen and many others played very important role in making India free
But honestly I don’t like all the credit to be given to Gandhi and being kept at such a high pedestal all over the world
