Peshwa means Padchari , and not Pant Pradhan

Chhatrapati Shivaji formed a council of eight chief to serve his court . They were called Astha Pradhan . Peshwa was Chief Padchari means a Chief Sevak for lifting King Shivaji's Paduka or Shoes , Chappals . Chhatrapati Sambhaji did not give any work to Peshwa therefore , Brahmin Peshwas were against Sambhaji and conspire to kill him shaking hands with Aurangajab .

After Sambhaji , Maratha rulers were slow poisoned by Peshwas and got written from Chharapati that Peshwa will look after work . Peshwas even become enemy of other Sardars who were real fighters in Maratha Army like Shindia , Holkar etc . Brahmins never fought , they only wrote bogus history glorifying themselves .

Brahmins were only servants doing petty work like lifting royal shoes and chappals etc therefore they were called Peshwa otherwise Shivaji himself would have designated his Asthapradhan Chief as Sar Pradhan keeping the nomenclature as Sar Naubat .The coronation of Shivaji was held in 1674, at the fort of Raigad in present-day Indian state of Maharashtra. On that occasion, Shivaji formalized the institution of a council of eight ministers to guide the administration of his nascent state. This council came to be known as the Ashta Pradhan. Each of the ministers was placed in charge of an administrative department; thus, the council heralded the birth of a bureaucracy.

The formalization of an administrative mechanism was of a piece with other measures, indicative of the formalization of a sovereign state, which were implemented on the occasion of Shivaji's coronation: coinage bearing Shivaji's insignia (the copper Shivrai and the gold hon) were issued, and a new era, the Rajyabhishek era, was proclaimed on the occasion.

Composition[edit]

The Ashta Pradhan was designed to encompass all the primary administrative functions of the state, with each minister being given charge of one role in the administration. Ministerial designations were drawn from the Sanskrit language; the eight ministerial roles were as follows:

Amatya - Finance Minister, managing accounts of the Empire.

Sacheev - Secretary, preparing royal edicts.

Mantri - Interior Minister, managing internal affairs especially intelligence and espionage.

Senapati - Commander-in-Chief, managing the forces and defense of the Empire.

Sumant - Foreign Minister, to manage relationships with other sovereigns.

Nyayadhish - Chief Justice, dispensing justice on civil and criminal matters.

Panditrao - High Priest, managing internal religious matters.

Peshwa - Chief Person assigned job to lift Shivaji's Shoes , Cappals .

The same Shoe lifer has got written Maratha empire in this servant's name during later Chharapati . Does empire comes in as transfer letter ?

No . Never .
