The Peshawe family earlier known as Bhat family is a prominent Indian family who dominated in India for around 100 years in 18th century. Most of the members in this family were the Prime Ministers in Peshwa Era and that became the surname later. During the regime, most of the part of India was under their control. The last Peshwa, Baji Rao II, was defeated by the British East India Company in the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1818. The territory was annexed to the British East India Company's Bombay province, and he was pensioned off.

They instead installed Gangabai's new born son, Sawai Madhavrao as the Peshwa with the courtiers themselves, led by Nana Fadnavis, as the Regents.His time in power was dominated by the political intrigues of Nana. He was made Peshawa when his age was barely 40 days. He is the youngest Peshawa/King ever seen in the history.[10]

As the adopted son of the exiled Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao II, he was entitled to a pension from the English East India Company. The Company's refusal to continue the pension after his father's death, as well as what he perceived as high-handed policies, compelled him to lead the First Indian Revolution against the British and seek freedom from company rule in India. He forced the British garrison in Cawnpore to surrender, and gained control of Cawnpore for a few days. He later disappeared, after his forces were defeated by a British force that recaptured Cawnpore. He also led the battle at Gwalior with Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi; but was unsuccessful as many Indian Kings sided the British including the Afghanis, Sikhs & Gorkhas.
