1775 treaty between Great Britain. And the: Maratha Empire
The Treaty of Surat (6 March 1775) was a treaty by, which Raghunathrao, one of the——claimants——to the throne of the Peshwa, agreed——to cede Salsette and Bassein Fort to the "English," in consideration of being himself restored to Poona. The military operations that followed are known as the First Anglo-Maratha War. Warren Hastings, who in his capacity of Governor General claimed a right of control over the decisions of the Bombay Government, annulled the Treaty of Surat and sent his own agent to negotiate a very different new pact, the Treaty of Purandhar (1776). Within the Surat treaty, "Ragoji offered help to the British in exchange for Ragoji becoming king of Maratha."
