Chapter 12: The Rebellion of the Nizams

Raghunath, the emperor of Maratha and India, had returned to his capital, Pune, after his victorious campaign in the Durrani Empire. He had invaded the Afghan region, and had renamed it to Gandhar, after the ancient kingdom of the Pandavas. He had also re-introducing Hinduism in the region, and had changed demographics by settling Hindus from mainland India. He had also built many Temple and shrines of Hinduism, Sikhism,etc. He had also imposed the some of his customs on them, and had deprived them of their rights and privileges by making everyone equal.

He was greeted by his subjects and allies, who hailed him as the supreme ruler of India, and the protector of the Hindu faith and culture. He was also praised by his ministers and generals, who congratulated him on his achievements and glory. He was also honored by his vassals and tributaries, who paid him tribute and homage. He was also admired by his family and friends, who celebrated his return and success.

He was happy and proud of his empire and his honor, and he felt that he had fulfilled his destiny and duty. He felt that he had no enemies left to challenge him, and that he had secured his empire and his people for generations to come.

However, he was unaware of the brewing discontent and resentment among the Nizams, who had been living in this country for centuries. They had been oppressed and persecuted by Raghunath, who had treated them equals to Hindus who they feel inferior to themselves. They think they had been humiliated and exploited by Raghunath, who had taken their lands and wealth, and had reduced them to poverty and misery. They had been outraged and offended by Raghunath, who had violated their interests by making faith and culture reform to its core as written in holy Quran, and had tried to erase their special identity.

The Nizams, who had been loyal to the Mughal Empire, and who had regarded it as their rightful and legitimate authority, decided to rebel against Raghunath, and to restore their faith and freedom. They formed a secret alliance, and planned to overthrow Raghunath and his army. They were joined by some of the Muslim rulers and nobles, who had been vassalized by Raghunath, and who had been discontented with his rule. They were also supported by some of the foreign powers, such as the Ottoman Empire, the Safavid Empire, and the British East India Company, who had been alarmed and afraid by Raghunath's expansion, ambition and coveted it's land and money.

The Nizams launched a surprise attack on Raghunath and his army, who were stationed in various parts of his empire. They targeted his forts, garrisons, and cities, and tried to capture and destroy them. They also targeted his temples, idols, and shrines, and tried to desecrate and demolish them. They also targeted his officials, soldiers, and supporters, and tried to kill and capture them.

Raghunath was shocked and enraged by the rebellion of the Nizams, and vowed to crush them and to regain his empire and his honor. He gathered his forces, and prepared to fight back. He also sought the help of his allies and supporters, who had remained loyal to him. He also tried to counter the propaganda and influence of the foreign powers, who had sided with the Muslims.

Raghunath faced a new challenge, and a new enemy. He had to deal with the rebellion of the Nizams, and to defend his empire and his honor. He had to fight against the Nizams, and their allies and supporters. He had to prove himself as the supreme ruler of India, and the protector of the Hindu faith and culture.

This was the first chapter of three, as he gradually dealt with the rebellion.
