Daulat Rao Sindhia
Quick Summary
Daulat Rao Sindhia was a prominent Maratha leader and ruler of Gwalior in the early 19th century. He was a successor in the Sindhia family, which for a time dominated northern India. Daulat Rao Sindhia came into conflict with the British East India Company in 1803 during the Second Maratha War. After being defeated by General Gerard Lake, he was compelled to sign the Treaty of Surji-Arjungaon. This treaty resulted in him losing control of Delhi and disbanding his French-trained army, though he retained Rajputana until 1817. The Sindhia family eventually became clients of the British in 1818.12
