Hindus were as secular as they r foolishly secular now.Sadashiv Rao Bhau,the maratha commander was not able to get support of sikhs,rajputs and jats while an invador could manage local army and support of all muslim grandies of the time.Even shia-shujaudaula was also won over by Abdali in the name of majhab.
This communalism was the main reason behind the victory of durranies in third battle of panipat and this constitute the basic reason of defeat of most of the battles between India and foreign invaders.

The Marathas also had forces of Pathans from the Malwa region – e.g Kurwai State.
In ‘Waqa-e-Dileri’ – a brief Urdu historical record of the state – it mentions this alliance & the Nawab’s participation in the battle of Panipat:
‘…..Due to the de facto collapse of the Mughal Empire, in all but name, the political contours were changing fast and furiously and confusion abounded. In inverse proportion to the diminution of the Mughal fortunes, the Maratha power was in the ascendancy. The Maratha domination in vast stretches of western and central parts of the Mughal Empire (effectively speaking India) was at its zenith. In the 1740s, Kurwai came under the suzerainty of Peshwas of the Maratha Empire. Under prevailing circumstances, Izzat Khan thought it prudent to strike an understanding with the Maratha confederacy in supporting their policies, and in acceding to their supremacy. The latter became even more necessary as the Maratha confederacy had defeated Nawab Dost Mohammad Khan in a battle that took place at Bhopal. This led to Bhopal along with Kurwai, and its fraternal states to come under the suzerainty of the Marathas, becoming tributaries of theirs.

Consequently, in order to safeguard and preserve the autonomy and integrity of Kurwai, Izzat Khan entered into a solemn alliance with the Maratha confederacy, on an equal and honourable footing, each party pledging to support the other in case of external aggression. This was to have a very far-reaching consequence, this has already alluded to in the very first paragraph. Thus, when Ahmad Shah invaded India, Izzat Khan accompanied the Maratha Peshwa to confront the Afghans. The Kurwai infantry eventually joined the Maratha army as a reinforcing force to face Ahmad Shah at Panipat on 14th January 1761.

As destiny would have it, one of the Ministers and a General in Ahmad Shah Durrani’s army was Nawab Nasrullah Khan, a maternal uncle of Izzat Khan. When he came to know that his nephew, along with his forces, had allied himself with the Marathas to face Ahmed Shah’s forces at Panipat, he wrote to Izzat Khan that it would be an act of suicide to join battle against Ahmed Shah, and sincerely and patronisingly advised his nephew Izzat, to pull his forces out of the confederation, immediately.

Nawab Izzat Khan wrote back to his uncle explaining his inability to comply with the command. He explained that by the terms of the treaty, solemnly executed, he (Izzat Khan) was bound, in good faith, to assist the Peshwa, and despite the odds, he would not contravene any clause of the treaty which required giving armed support to the Marathas, should they ever require it. In Izzat Khan’s opinion, the Hindu Peshwa, had justifiably requisitioned his support as an ally against the Muslim invader, and he (Izzat Khan) could not contemplate an act of treachery by deserting his Maratha allies in time of need. Under the circumstances, he pleaded for his uncle’s forgiveness and expressed his decision to tread the path of suicide in preference to dishonour.’
