The Battle of Malpura was a battle in 1800 between the alliance of Jaipur (ruled by the Kacchwahas) and Jodhpur (ruled by the Rathores) and Gwalior (ruled by the Scindia Marathas). It was the result of a crisis between the governments of the two sides.
In 1800, a crisis developed between Jaipur and Gwalior Scindia`s Government. The main reasons behind it were:
Sawai Pratap Singh made an attempt to profit from these internal dissensions of his Scindia rivals prior to the Battle of Malpura. In March 1800, he openly rejected the money clauses of the treaty of 1791 (signed after the Battle of Patan and started to prepare for war paving the way for the Battle of Malpura.
Due to this defeat Jaipur was forced to sign a treaty with the British in 1818.
