Explanation

The Treaty of Deogaon was signed on December 17, 1803, between the British East India Company and Raghoji II Bhonsle of Nagpur following the Maratha defeat in the Second Anglo-Maratha War [1][3]. Under the terms of this treaty, the Bhonsle ruler ceded the province of Cuttack (including Balasore) and the territory of Berar west of the river Wardha to the British [1]. This acquisition was strategically significant as it provided the British with a continuous land link between their Bengal and Madras presidencies. While other territories like Surat were involved in earlier treaties such as the Treaty of Surat (1775) [1], and Murshidabad served as an earlier administrative center for the British in Bengal, Cuttack was the specific territory ceded by the Bhonsles under the 1803 Deogaon agreement [1].
