Nana Phadnavis Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
NANA Phadnavis, the shrewd and able administrator of the Peshwa rulers of the Maratha empire in the 18th century. An anecdote (Nana Phadnavis the rationalist) tells of an occasion when decided to build a bridge at Karmanaki, near Kashi (Varanasi, Benares). The pundits in Kashi did `anushthan' to ensure that the project succeeds. Unfortunately, the efforts to find firm footings in the river failed despite repeated attempts and rituals by the priests. When Nana heard of this, he put a stop to all rituals and contacted a British engineer named Baker, and entrusted the job to him. Baker brought pumps to remove water and when they proved inadequate, brought additional machinery from Calcutta. With his equipment he got the job done.This is an Article on Nana Phadnavis.
