Treaty of Salbai
The "Treaty of Salbai" was signed on 17 May 1782, by representatives of the Maratha Empire and the British East India Company after long negotiations to settle the outcome of the First Anglo-Maratha War it was signed between Warren Hastings and Mahadaji Shinde. Under its terms, the Company retained control of Salsette and Broach and acquired guarantees that the Marathas would defeat Hyder Ali of Mysore and retake territories in the Carnatic. The Marathas also guaranteed that the French would be prohibited from establishing settlements on their territories. In return, the British agreed to pension off their protégé, Raghunath Rao, and acknowledge Madhavrao II as Peshwa of the Maratha Empire. The British also recognized the territorial claims of the Mahadji Shinde west of the Jumna River and all the territories occupied by the British after the Treaty of Purndar were given back to the Othas.
The Treaty of Salbai resulted in 20 years of relative peace between the Maratha Empire and the East India Company until outbreak of the Second Anglo-Maratha War in 1802.[1] Devudiya Anderson concluded the Treaty of Salbai on behalf of the East India Company.[2]
