Write short notes on the Battle of Adayar.
✓
Answer
The First Carnatic War is remembered for the battle of San Thome (Madras) fought between the French forces and the Carnatic, who appealed to the British for help.
A small French army under Captain Paradise defeated the strong Indian army under Mahfiiz Khan at Santhome on the banks of the River Adayar.
This was the first occasion when the superiority of the well-trained and well – equipped European army over the Indian army proved beyond doubt.
