Talk:Campaign in Baramahal
Comment on Battle Location
As far as I can make out Baramahal was an area around Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu under the control of Hyder Ali. The British attacked him at Kaveripattinam and Krishnagiri in 1767. Some months later the British made another invasion on the Baramahal. Further south Dharmapuri, Salem, Attur, Sendamangalam and Namakkal were surrendered to the British. The victory, however, was shortlived because Hyder Ali soon recaptured Dharmapuri, Denkanikota, Omalur, Salem and Namakkal. I haven’t found a specific battle of Baramahal in 1768.
