The Battle of Ashti fought on February 19, 1818, was a small but highly consequential affair. It occurred near Ashti, to the east of Pune, while the Peshwa was in the midst of his long and meandering flight from the EIC army. General Lionel Smith’s force was gaining on the Peshwa and in an effort to retard their advance Bapu Gokhale, the Maratha’s best general, stayed back to confront Smith. As shown on the map a fierce cavalry battle ensued. Gokhale was killed in the heat of combat and Smith’s forces won the battle, capturing the Peshwa’s ally, the Raja of Satara. The stand at Ashti did allow the Peshwa to continue his flight, but the loss of Gokhale was a severe blow to Maratha fortunes.
