Background
In March 1740, Dost Ali Khan, the Nawab of Arcot sent Chanda Sahib and Baba Sahib to Invade some territories for his son, Safdar Ali Khan. Chanda Sahib led his army to the territories of Travancore. Marthanda Varma, the King of Travancore sent his general Ramayya Dalawa to defend the Kingdom.[6][7][8]
The conflict
The Sultanate forces successfully invaded the territories of Travancore Kingdom such as Nagercoil, Suchindram and Kottar. Ramayya Dalawa failed to withstand the attack. Chanda Sahib besieged Tovala and entered to Kottar. Most of the Travancore army were already engaged in war with the Dutch in their northern territory. Thus, they couldn't resist the sudden invasion from thier southern territory.[9][2][5][10][11]
Aftermath
Following the invasion, Marthanda Varma offered 120,000 Gold coins and 6 elephants to Nawab of Carnatic.[12] Nawab accepted the presents and gave the territories back to Marthanda Varma.[4][9][13]
