That same year, Nasir Jung attempted to seize power but was defeated by his father at the Eid Gah Maidan in Aurangabad, on 23 July 1741.

Due to the peace between the two nations in Europe, outright hostility was impossible, diplomatic avenues such as alliances and local skirmishes were the best method to achieve this without spurring further international conflict.

[citation needed] There were initial successes for the French in both Deccan and Carnatic in defeating and murdering their opponents and placing their supporters on thrones by 1750.

It was during one such success that Nasir Jung was killed at Dupleix-Fathabad (Sarasangupettai), near Gingee, by the Pathan Himmat Khan who was Nawab of Kadapa, on 16 December 1750.

[citation needed] Later, the famous capture of Arcot by the English under Robert Clive in 1751 led to successive British victories and of their South Indian Allies.

The directors of the French Compagnie de Indes were dissatisfied with the political ambitions of Dupleix, which had led to immense financial loss.
