Pindari marauders made violent incursions into British controlled areas and in response the British pursued them into Maratha territory. Maratha leaders rose against the British but were decisively defeated at a series of battles. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Rawdon-Hastings,_1st_Marquess_of_Hastings Lord Hastings] commanded the Northern Force and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Thomas_Hislop,_1st_Baronet Sir Thomas Hislop] the Deccan Force.
