Explanation:

The year 1803 is an important year in the history of Haryana. In this year, the area of what is now present day Haryana and Delhi came under the control of the East India Company of Great Britain. At that time, Delhi was being ruled by the old and weak Mughal ruler, Shah Alam. But the real power lay in the hands of the Maratha leader, Daulat Rao Scindia, who acted as his regent. On 6th September, 1803, the battle between General Lake's British forces and the Marathas took place near village Partapganj. On 30th September, 1803, the Maratha leader Daulat Rao Scindia also decided to make peace with the British by signing a treaty with the East India Company.
