This decisive confrontation, in which English forces led by Sir Eyre Coote overcame the French army commanded by Count de Lally, effectively terminated French colonial aspirations in IndiFollowing this defeat, the French lost their key strongholds, including Pondicherry, which fell to the English in 1761. The battle represented a pivotal moment in colonial history, establishing British dominance in the Indian subcontinent and significantly diminishing French influence in the region.
