With reference to the treaties made by the English with native rulers of India in the 18th century, which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched ?
Explanation
The Treaty of Mangalore (1784) was signed between the British East India Company and Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore, following the Second Anglo-Mysore War [t4][t5]. It restored the status quo and involved the mutual restitution of prisoners and territories [t5]. Anwar-ud-din was the Nawab of Arcot who died much earlier in 1749 during the Battle of Ambur in the Second Carnatic War, and thus was not a signatory to this 1784 treaty. Other pairs are correct: the Treaty of Allahabad (1765) was signed by Robert Clive with Shuja-ud-daula of Awadh and Shah Alam II [c1][t7]; the Treaty of Purandar (1776) was signed between the British and the Marathas (specifically the Regency of the Peshwa) [c3]; and the Treaty of Seringapatam (1792) was signed by Tipu Sultan after the Third Anglo-Mysore War [c2][t2][t3].
