Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: C. Ambala Treaty
The Ambala Treaty was signed on 13 March 1803 between the East India Company and the Maratha Empire. The treaty was a result of the Third Anglo-Maratha War. The treaty gave the East India Company control of Haryana, which was then part of the Maratha Empire.
The treaty was signed by Lord Lake, the British commander-in-chief, and Jaswant Rao Holkar, the Maratha general. The treaty stipulated that the Marathas would cede Haryana to the East India Company and that they would pay a war indemnity of 50 lakhs of rupees.
The treaty was a major victory for the East India Company and it marked the beginning of the decline of the Maratha Empire.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The Treaty of Surji-Anjangaon was signed on 30 December 1803 between the East India Company and the Nizam of Hyderabad. The treaty gave the East India Company control of the Deccan Plateau.
- The Rain Treaty was signed on 17 November 1781 between the East India Company and the Maratha Empire. The treaty ended the Second Anglo-Maratha War.
- None of the above treaties gave the East India Company control of Haryana.
