What's up with all the gundagiri in Kolkata?
My buddy and I, same school currently in class 11, stumbled upon a group of five boys today. We were casually walking and they seemed to be drunk, one of them pushed me, and my friend casually confronted him to walk properly with respect. The guy got mad, they all got mad, they dragged us to the nearest maidan and threatened to beat us. They even grabbed my friends neck. Now in this situation, I tried calling the police, they said they know the police and stuff. They started bringing more and more people in this fight. We were basically helpless and had to run away. 😕
Wanna leave this shit place for good.... The police is basically useless here. As students, if our parents get to know about this they'll stop us from even exiting our home. Even if the police came, they would call my parents first 😕😕. Any other options if this happens next time?? Need help

Maratha killed 400,000 people in Bengal.
Marathas killed 400,000 people in Bengal. The population of Bengal was approximately 30 million at that time(1742–1751), which means they killed 1.333 percent of the population. source
Also, the Maratha attacked temples and the towns of Karnataka. The Maratha Army under Parshuram Bhau destroyed 6,000 houses and abducted women. Over 100,000 Kannadigas died. source
There are many texts which contain the bargi(Maratha) attack in Bengal, some of them are
1. Annada Mangal by Bharatchandra Rayn (1752–53)

2. Maharashtra Purana-
"তবে সব বরগি গ্রাম লুচিতে লাগিলা।
জত গ্রামের লোক সব পলাইল।।
ব্রাহ্মণ পন্ডিত পলাত্র পুথির ভার লইয়া।
সোনার বাইন্য পলাএ কত নিক্তি ইড়পি লইয়া।। গন্ধবণিক পলাএ দোকান লইয়া জত।
চতুর্দিকে লোক পলাএ কী বলিব কত।।
কারু হাত কাটে কারু নাক কান।
একি চোটে কারু বর্ধএ পরাণ।।
ভালই স্ত্রীলোক ধইরা লইয়া যাত্র।
অঙ্গুতে দড়ি বান্ধি দেয় তার গলাএ।।
একজন্য ছাড়ে তারে আর জন্য ধরে।
রমণের ভরে ত্রাহি শব্দ করে।।
এই মতে বরগি কর্ত পাপকর্ম কইরা।
সেই সব স্ত্রীলোকে জত দেই সব ছাইড়া।।"
It all started when Sarfaraz Khan was killed by Alivardi Khan in 1740. Then Alivardi Khan became Nawab of Bengal. After becoming Nawab of Bengal at that time Mughal Empire was having a hard time so Alivardi Khan didn't pay the tax because Bengal starting to become more independent but according to a Contract with Maratha and Aurangzeb the Maratha would get 1/4th of the tax to avoid Maratha raids but as the Mughal didn't get tax from Bengal thay said to Maratha if you can take your part you can take it and this is how Maratha invasions of Bengal(1742–1751) started and The leader of the expeditions was Raghoji Bhonsle.
Alivardi Khan did so much to stop them. Whenever Bargi (Maratha) attacked any village, Nawab sent his army to the village under attack, but they just ran off before the army got there. They were like Scavengers, a bunch of cowards. If their aim was about the tax, they could've just looted, but they burned villages and abducted women. It seems like they were doing this just for the fun of it.

Maratha invasions of Bengal
The Maratha invasions of Bengal (1742–1751), also known as the Maratha expeditions in Bengal, were the frequent invasions by the Maratha forces in the Bengal Subah (Bengal, Bihar, parts of modern Orissa), after their successful campaign in the Carnatic region…
