Yeshwantrao Holkar

Yeshwantrao Holkar defeated the combined forces of the Peshwa and Scindia at the Battle of Poona. This victory made him the dominant Maratha power in the Deccan and forced the Peshwa to flee.

The Peshwa Baji Rao II signed the Treaty of Bassein with the British, seeking their help against Yeshwantrao Holkar. This treaty brought the British into Maratha affairs and triggered the Second Anglo-Maratha War.

Yeshwantrao Holkar besieged the British-held fort of Bharatpur but failed to capture it. The siege ended inconclusively, and Holkar was forced to retreat after British reinforcements arrived.

Yeshwantrao Holkar signed the Treaty of Rajghat with the British, ending his participation in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. He ceded some territories but retained his kingdom's independence.
