Jyotiba Rao Scindia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jyotiba Rao Scindia (1726 – January 1760) was the third son of Ranoji Rao Scindia and Maina Bai and[1] the elder half brother of Mahadaji Scindia.

In 1742, the Marathas were attacked by the Nizam of Hyderabad at Berar and Belur. Jyotiba and Mahadaji — both the Shinde brothers — along with only 1,500 army under Sadashivrao Bhau’s army defeated Nizam.

He died at Kumbher near Deeg, in January 1760.
