Bhaskar Ram Kolhatkar, known as Baba Bhaskar Pandit or Bhaskar Pant by the people of Bengal and Maharashtra, was a Maratha general and statesman. He was the dewan (Finance Minister)[1] of the Maharaja of Nagpur, Raghuji Bhonsle.[2][3] He played an important role in the kingdom of Nagpur's expansion. The first Maratha invasion of Bengal in 1741, as also the third in 1744, was led by him.[2][3] He was an able military leader, proven by his success in the Maratha invasions of Bengal and conquest of Chhattisgarh.[4][5] He was killed by Alivardi Khan on 30 March 1744.[6][2]
