Bajirao I and the imperial representative Sawai Jai Singh had a diplomatic conference at Dholpur in 1736 A.D in which the Peshwa initially demanded a revenue assignment of 13 lakhrupees and cession of the province of Malwa. This demand was conceded, but it served only to embolden the Peshwa to increase his demands. He now demanded the authority to levy an annual tribute of 10,60,000 rupees from the Rajput states south of the Chambal, beginning with Bundi and Kota in the west and extending to Bhadawar in the east.^[1] The list of these states was to include Orchha, Datia, Khechi, Chanderi, Amjhera, Narwar, Sipri, Rampura, Bhadawar, Bundi and Kota. The imperial representatives were willing to concede this demand as well, and secret documents to the effect were prepared but ended up being leaked to the Peshwa. In the words of William Irvine, ‘Baji Rao, convinced now that the emperor was at his mercy raised his demands’ to near extortionate levels – the forts of Mandu, Raisen and Dhar, hereditary rights to collect revenue from the six provinces of the Deccan, 50 lakh rupees in cash or an order on Bengal and the cities of Mathura, Benaras, Gaya and Allahabad. This was too much to concede, even for those elements at the Mughal court that had been inclined to placate the Peshwa and stave off the fury of Maratha arms. The diplomatic conference collapsed with the Peshwa having gained de facto power over Malwa, but the concession had no deterrent effect upon Maratha plans for conquest.^[2]
