Q. According to the Rajpurghat Treaty of 1805, which area did Yashwant Rao Holkar cede?
Answer: Northern Chambal and Bundelkhand
Notes: The Rajpurghat Treaty (1805) forced Yashwant Rao Holkar to cede Northern Chambal and Bundelkhand after British victories during Wellesley’s tenure. This treaty curtailed Holkar’s influence in central India. Satpura Hills and Malwa were relinquished in later treaties, such as the Mandsaur Treaty. The treaty aimed to curb Maratha power and consolidate British control over Madhya Pradesh regions.
