The representation of the 'History of the Marathas' through varied historiographic representations has focused around the colonial discourses of the English East India Company in matters related to politics, diplomacy & interdependency in Deccan all through the 17th and 18th centuries. The gradual rise of the Maratha state under Chhatrapati Shivaji had a bearing on the politics and diplomacy across all the European powers in the Indian subcontinent, viz. the Portuguese, the Dutch, the English and the French right from its inception.
