Regarded as the most influential of the nine Peshwas from the Bhat family, Bajirao I changed the map of India in the mid-eighteenth century. Check out more facts about him. By India Today Web Desk: If Sanjay Leela Bhansali hadn't created a remarkable piece called Bajirao Mastani in 2015 for Indian Cinema, half of the Indians wouldn't have known about this warrior. To the people who haven't watch the film yet, the story of Peshwa Bajirao is something they can include in their knowledge. Regarded as the most influential of the nine Peshwas from the Bhat family, Bajirao I changed the map of India in the mid-eighteenth century.

Let's remember the journey of Peshwa Bajirao Bajirao Ballal was born on August 18, 1700 as the eldest son of Peshwa Balaji Vishwanath Rao. He belonged to the reputed, traditional Chit-Pawan Brahmin family of Konkan. Bajirao was guided to the battlefront at the age of 12 by his father. Peshwa Bajirao I served as the Peshwa (Prime Minister) from the year 1720 until his death. Bajirao's potential as a warrior was duly recognized by the emperor Shahu Maharaj (the fifth Chhatrapati of Maratha Empire) and was therefore made as the Peshwa upon the death of his father. During his 20 years of military course, Peshwa Bajirao I was never beaten in a battle and had always rejoiced victory. He is one of the three Generals in the history of the world who never lost a battle. Malwa (1723), Dhar (1724), Aurangabad (1724), Battle of Palkhed (1728), Firozabad (1737), Delhi (1737), Bhopal (1738) and Battle of Vasai (1739) were some of the major battles won by Bajirao. advertisement Bajirao’s first campaign in the north-west started from 1723 with the victory of Malwa followed by Gujarat. Bajirao Ballal has been described as the incarnation of Hindu energy, striving for 20 years to establish the Hindu Padshahi. On April 28, 1740, while preparing to march out with his army to reach Delhi with his 1,00,000 troops, Bajirao fell ill with fever and passed away in the village of RawarKhedi near the banks of Narmada.

Can you dodge a bullet?

Bullet dodging, Scientific American reports, is one such make-believe ability invented by Hollywood. Regardless of your speed and finesse, no human can dodge a bullet at close range. The bullet is simply traveling too fast. Even the slowest handguns shoot a bullet at 760 miles per hour, SciAm explains.

smithsonianmag.com - To Dodge a Bullet, You'd Have to See It From Three Football Fields Away

These days, even movies about demigods from another dimension have scientific consultants. But if there’s a conflict between a good storyline and the laws of physics, the storyline will always win. Bullet dodging, Scientific American reports, is one such make-believe ability invented by Hollywood. Regardless of your speed and finesse, no human can dodge a bullet at close range. The bullet is simply traveling too fast. Even the slowest handguns shoot a bullet at 760 miles per hour, SciAm explains. Humans can react to something in about 0.2 seconds on the fast end depending on the task and if they know something is coming. But in everyday circumstances the average reaction is more like 1.5 seconds. With this in mind, MythBusters performed an experiment to find out how far away an average person would have to stand away from a speeding bullet in order dodge it, SciAm says. The answer, it turns out, is about three football fields—hardly the stuff of Hollywood. The news for would-be heros gets even worse, too. Unless you were peering through binoculars, you probably wouldn’t be able to see the bullet getting fired from that distance, meaning you wouldn’t know to dodge it in the first place. The bottom line: unless you’re Neo from The Matrix, don’t count on being able to dodge a bullet to save your life. If you’re still not convinced, here MythBusters gets into some details about the ins and outs of their bullet-dodging experiment:
