Q. Consider the following statements about historical treaties in India:

1. The Treaty of Purandar (1665) involved the surrender of 23 forts by Shivaji to the Mughals.
2. The Treaty of Allahabad (1765) granted the Diwani rights of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa to the British by the Mughal Emperor.
3. The Treaty of Bassein (1802) was an agreement between the British and Maharaja Gulab Singh.
4. The Treaty of Salbai (1782) ended the First Anglo-Maratha War and restored territories as per pre-war conditions.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer: Only 1, 2 and 4
Notes: The Treaty of Purandar (1665) indeed involved Shivaji surrendering 23 forts to the Mughals. The Treaty of Allahabad (1765) granted the Diwani rights to the British by the Mughal Emperor. The Treaty of Salbai (1782) concluded the First Anglo-Maratha War under the mentioned conditions. The Treaty of Bassein (1802) was, however, between the British and Peshwa Baji Rao II, not Maharaja Gulab Singh. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct while statement 3 is incorrect.
