The Battle of Delhi took place on 11 September 1803, between British troops under General Lake, and Marathas of Scindia's army under General Bourquin. The Marathas occupied a strong position with the Jumna in their rear, and Lake, feigning a retreat, drew them from their lines, and then turning upon them drove them with the bayonet into the river, inflicting more losses upon them. The battle increased British power and prestige in India.
