Correct Answer - Option 4 : Bithur

The correct answer is Bithur.

  • Bithur was the place where Peshwa sent away with a pension after the Third Anglo-Maratha War.

 

  • Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817 – 1818):
    • After the second Anglo-Maratha war, the Marathas made one last attempt to rebuild their old prestige.
    • They wanted to retake all their old possessions from the English.
    • They were also unhappy with the British residents’ interference in their internal matters.
    • The chief reason for this war was the British conflict with the Pindaris whom the British suspected were being protected by the Marathas.
    • The Maratha chiefs Peshwa Bajirao II, Malharrao Holkar and Mudhoji II Bhonsle forged a united front against the English.
    • Daulat Rao Shinde, the fourth major Maratha chief was pressured diplomatically to stay away. But the British victory was swift.
    • Results
      • The Treaty of Gwalior was signed in 1817 between Shinde and the British, even though he had not been involved in the war.
      • As per this treaty, Shinde gave up Rajasthan to the British.
      • The Rajas of Rajputana remained the Princely States till 1947 after accepting British sovereignty.
      • The Treaty of Mandasor was signed between the British and the Holkar chief in 1818. An infant was placed on the throne under British guardianship.
      • The Peshwa surrendered in 1818. He was dethroned and pensioned off to a small estate in Bithur (near Kanpur). Most parts of his territory became part of the Bombay Presidency.
