jan 1, 1776 - Treaty Of Purandhar
1776
Description:
The British Calcutta Council, on the other side of India,
condemned the Treaty of Surat (1775) and sent Colonel
Upton to Pune to annul it and make a new treaty (Treaty
of Purandhar, 1776) with the regency renouncing Raghunath
and promising him a pension. The Bombay government
rejected this and gave refuge to Raghunath. In 1777, Nana
Phadnavis violated his treaty with the Calcutta Council by
granting the French a port on the west coast. The English
retaliated by sending a force towards Pune
