Explanation

Baji Rao II signed the Treaty of Bassein on 31 December 1802 with the British, accepting a subsidiary alliance after fleeing Pune in the face of Yashwantrao Holkar's advance. Vithuji Holkar was Yashwantrao's brother who was executed by the Peshwa's minister; Daulat Rao Sindhia was the Gwalior chief, not the signatory; Madhava Rao Narayan (the young Peshwa) had died in 1795. The signatory was Baji Rao II.
