Though good news from North-east is that tide of cross has been halted there ,and Populations has become stable finally.
That is correct.
Third battle of Panipat determined who would not rule India rather than who would. Had Marathas won, they would have smoothly supplanted Mughals as Emprorers of India.
That battle also contributed to adoption of stupid military tactics by Marathas later on. In Third battle of Panipat, French artillery was not very effective (though it was dut to MAratha cavalry charging Afghan lines at wrong time). This shook Maratha confidence in artillery and from that point onward they were very quick to concede guns on battlefield, which every professional army considered harakiri.
Third battle of Panipat also teach up about the perils of having sympathizer of enemy in your country. Area around Panipat was populated by muslims and it was the biggest reason that Maratha army starved in months following to this battle. Muslims (not Afghan Army, local muslims) sabotaged supply and adopted scorched earth policy which imperiled situation of Maratha in field.
Has any one from subcontinent ever dared to conquer europe or arab? No. This is due to fear.
