Marathas are a blend of the Worrior and Agrarian classes,speaking Marathi and generally having their roots in Maharashtra.
The biggest war in Indian History was fought between Marathas and Mughals for 27 years from 1681-1707 with Mughals loosing the War and Marathas were able to establish big empire after this war.
Nawab Najibuddaula Khan played a significant role in the Third Battle of Panipat (1761) as a key ally of the Maratha Empire, though he was initially a neutral party. He was the ruler of the Rohilkhand region and had his own ambitions, but he ultimately sided with the Afghan forces led by Ahmad Shah Durrani, contributing to the defeat of the Marathas. His involvement was crucial in the context of regional power dynamics, as it highlighted the shifting alliances and rivalries that characterized the era.
The British used a divide and rule policy in India in order to gain control.Diplomacy and deceit were used to gain control of revenue collection in the province of Bengal. This gave the foreigners effective control of administration. The Marathas, the Sikhs and the rulers of Mysore could never unite to confront the foreign enemy and fell one by one. By the onset of the 19th Century there was no local power that could cope with their onslaught.
The novel in India attempted to create a sense of pan-Indian belonging by imagining the country to be full of adventure, heroism, romance and sacrifice-characteristics that could not be found in the offices and streets of the nineteenth century world. It also gave the colonised people a chance to give shape to their desires. For example, the Bengali historical novels of this time, dealing with Marathas and Rajputs, served this purpose. Another way in which the sense of belonging to a common nation was popularised was by including various classes in the novel so that they could be seen to belong to a shared world. The novels of Premchand, populated by powerful characters belonging to almost all levels of society, exemplify this.
Many reasons. At that time last emperor Aurangjeb was in throne. Some policies of Aurangzeb are considered to start shaking and weakining the dynasty. Here are some of them. Aurangzeb was involved in a series of protracted wars: against the Pathans in Afghanistan, the sultans of Bijapur and Golkonda in the Deccan, the Marathas in Maharashtra and the Ahoms in Assam. Peasant uprisings and revolts by local leaders became all too common, as did the conniving of the nobles to preserve their own status at the expense of a steadily weakening empire. The increasing association of his government with Islam further drove a wedge between the ruler and his Hindu subjects. Contenders for the Mughal throne were many, and the reigns of Aurangzeb's successors were short-lived and filled with strife. The Mughal Empire experienced dramatic reverses as regional nawabs (governors) broke away and founded independent kingdoms. The Mughals had to make peace with Maratha armies, and Persian and Afghan armies invaded Delhi, carrying away many treasures, including the Peacock Throne in 1739, subsequently used by the shahs of Persia (Iran)

Well, honey, Durge is a common surname among the 96 Kuli Marathas, so yeah, technically it can be one of the surnames. But remember, just because someone has that surname doesn't automatically make them a part of the 96 Kuli Marathas club. It's like saying all blondes are dumb - it's just not true.
