Marathas signed the treaty of Salbai in 1782 with the English at the instance of Sindhia. The treaty established the status quo in Anglo-Maratha relations. Though the material gains of the English from the treaty were not very impressive, it gave them peace with the Marathas for twenty years, the time which was needed by the British to concentrate on other fronts, especially Mysore.
