			== Analysis ==
			The treaty brought a 20-year peace between Marathas and British, but in the long term it was a blunder by the Marathas. The British did not get any substantial territorial gains, war indemnities promised by Marathas in 1776 were written off, and they gave up backing Raghunath Rao and recognized Madhavrao II. But in the long run the diplomacy paid off for the British. Hastings managed to break off the Triple Alliance of Marathas, Mysore and Nizam through this treaty. At a time when its resources were drained, administrative challenges from London mounted, and no aid from London forthcoming due to Britain's engagement with the [[American Revolutionary War\|American War of Independence]], East India Company, against all odds, succeeded in securing peace. The last chance for the Indian powers to eradicate the British power in India was lost with this treaty. Eager to assert his leadership over the Maratha Confederacy, avoid further conflict and become a British ally, Mahadji Scindia independently brokered the treaty in a small village called Salbai near Gwalior, despite the Peshwa's camp, led by [[Nana Fadnavis]], expressing reservations.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book \|last=Dalrymple \|first=William \|title=The Anarchy \|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing \|year=2019 \|isbn=978-1-4088-6437-1 \|location=London \|language=English}}</ref> Nana Fadnavis hesitated because the British Bombay Council had previously undermined the Treaty of Purandar (1776) by sheltering Raghunathrao. In retaliation, he explicitly violated the above treaty by granting the French a port on the west coast. He had originally negotiated the Treaty of Purandar with the British Calcutta Council under Hastings, ensuring Raghunathrao was marginalized and pensioned off. Despite all these previous grievances, he had to ratify the Treaty of Salbai on the behalf of Peshwa in 1783, after a one year delay, with Mahadji as the mediator.<ref>{{Cite book \|title=India from Mid-18th to Mid-19th Century \|publisher=Indira Gandhi National Open University \|year=2017 \|location=New Delhi \|pages=28}}</ref> The treaty isolated Mysore, which allowed the British to neutralize the major South Indian player before finally dealing with the Marathas after 20 years. The treaty weakened Maratha unity, providing the British with further grounds to intervene in future political maneuvering and conflicts, enabling them to engage with individual Maratha chiefs separately.<ref name=":0" />
