Explanation

The British proclaimed 'Now India is ours' after the Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803-1805) because this war destroyed the major Maratha power centers. The defeat of the Scindias, Bhonsles, and Holkars left the British as the dominant power in India with no significant Indian rival remaining. The First Anglo-Maratha War was actually a British defeat.
