Shahu II (Shahu Bhonsle, Marathi pronunciation: [Śāhū Bhoṅsle]; 1763 – 3 May 1808[1]) was the seventh Chhatrapati of the Maratha Confederacy from 1777 until his death in 1808.[1] During his reign, the Marathas won the First Anglo-Maratha War, but lost the Second Anglo-Maratha War. Mahadaji Shinde and the Peshwa were his closest counterparts. He died shortly afterwards.
