1749 CE

The proxy war continues in India, though a state of war does not exist in Europe.

The French ally with Chanda Sahib and Muzaffar Jung to bring them into power in their respective states, but the British soon also intervene, siding with those states’ rivals to check the designs of Dupleix.

They counter the French by supporting Nasir Jung and Muhammad Ali Khan Walajah (son of the deposed Nawab Anwaruddin Muhammed Khan of Arcot).

The French in 1749 initially succeed in both states in defeating their opponents and placing their supporters on thrones.

Dupleix next enters into negotiations, the object of which is the subjugation of southern India.

He sends a large body of troops to the aid of the two claimants of the sovereignty of the Carnatic and the Deccan.
