Explanation

The Scindias of Gwalior were the last major Maratha state to accept the British Subsidiary Alliance, doing so in 1803 after the Treaty of Surji-Anjangaon following the Second Anglo-Maratha War. The Bhonsles (Nagpur) and Holkars (Indore) had accepted earlier. Gaekwads of Baroda accepted in 1802. Scindia's resistance under Daulat Rao Scindia continued longest until military defeat forced acceptance.
