But Mohammed Ali flagrantly violated his solemn assurance and refused the cession of Tiruchirappalli to Mysore. However, Srirangam was left to be occupied by the Mysorean. In 1752, there ensued a struggle between the two groups of native power over the region of Tiruchirappalli. The British involved in the struggle in favour of Mohammed Ali to drive away the Mysoreans form the soil of the Tiruchirappalli. Mohammed Ali at first told the Mysore Rajah that he would consider the Rajah's demand after two months. When the Mysore King, Nanja Rajah pressed, Mohammed Ali said that the territory belonged to the Mughals and he could not alienate the Mughal's property. He was supported by the British and the native powers of Pudukkottai and Tanjore. On the other hand, the Mysore king got the assistance of Murari Rao, the Maratha Chief, the French and the Maravars. | | Keywords : | | - emotional and cognitive skills,
