Battle of Narela
The Battle of Narela took place on 16 January 1757, at Narela, on the outskirts of Delhi, between the Maratha Army led by Antaji Mankeshwar and an advance column of Ahmad Shah Abdali's army, in which the Maratha Army won.〔Mehta, p. 224〕
==The battle==
Ahmad Shah Durrani, the emperor of Afghanistan was heading towards Delhi in his yet another invasion. The Marathas had signed a treaty with the Mughal emperor in 1752 to give him protection from the foreign invader. The Maratha Peshwa had appointed Antaji Mankeshwar along with 50,000 strong Maratha force to guard the emperor. However, the Maratha troops were called back by the Peshwa for Deccan operations. As a result, most of the Maratha force left Delhi leaving behind some 3,400 troops under Antaji Mankeshwar. So, the small garrison of Marathas along with the forces of Imad-ul-mulk and Najib-ud-daula had the responsibility to guard the Mughal capital from Durrani. By 14 January 1757, Durrani had reached Sonipat and decided to stay there. He sent a Rahim Khan with 5,000 strong Afghan force to capture the regions around Delhi. Antaji was asked to move along with his contingent along the road towards Karnal to check the progress of the Afghan invader. The Marathas and Afghans collided in a fierce battle in Narela, on the outskirts of Delhi. The Afghans were defeated and finally they retreated to Sonipat, where their emperor was staying.〔〔Barua, p. 55〕
