Key Points

The Treaty of Surji-Arjungaon was signed in the Year 1803.
It was signed between British and Scindia, a part of the Maratha Confederacy.
The Treaty of Surji-Arjungaon (30 Dec. 1803), a settlement between Maratha chief Daulat Rao Sindhia and the British, was the result of Lord Lake's campaign in Upper India during the first phase of the Second Maratha War (1803–05).
British forces against Bhosle, Scindia, Holkars were led by Arthur Wellesley in the south and Lord Lake in the north.
The Second Anglo-Maratha war happened due to Maratha Confederacy's non-recognition of the Treaty of Bassein (1802) which made Marathas accept Subsidiary Alliance.
