What were the major provisions of the treaty of Salbai? What were its results?

Answer»

The treaty of Salbai was signed in 1782 CE between Peshwa and the British. As its result, the first Anglo Maratha war came to end. 

The major provisions of this treaty were as following:

1. Providing recognition to Madhav Rao (II) as the Peshwa and giving annual pension to Raghoba. The British promised not to provide assistance to Raghoba. 

2. British dominance upon Salsette was accepted and all the rest of the regions were returned to the Marathas by the British. Among these, the regions of Scindia situated in the west part of Yamuna were obtained back by Sindhiya. 

3. Fateh Singh Gaekwad was recognized as the ruler of Baroda and all his regions were returned to him.

Consequences: Due to this treaty, peace prevailed between the British and the Marathas for about 20 years, but the British get an opportunity to evaluate the strength of the Marathas through this treaty and they get enough time to increase their own strength. Difference between Nana Fadnavis and Sindhiya emerged out in the open.
