He was installed as a puppet ruler by the Maratha nobles, whose growing power prompted him to flee his capital Pune and sign the Treaty of Bassein (1802) with the British. The last Peshwa was Baji Rao-II. Duringhrs reign the peshwa ship was abolished by the British Government (Lord Harding-I, third Anglo Maratha battle).
