Mahadji Scindia
Mahadji Scindia was the Maratha ruler of Gwalior and the most powerful Indian chief of the late 18th century. Surviving the Maratha defeat at Panipat in 1761, he rebuilt his family's power with a European-trained army under French officers. From 1771 he restored and controlled the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II in Delhi, holding the office of regent of the empire.
