N2  - The book essentially traces the evolution of power and society in Tinnevelly from ancient times, characterized by the strong influence of the Pandya and Chola dynasties, through periods of external intrusions like the Muhammadan invasions and the rise of the Vijayanagara Empire and its Nayaka governors. It then moves into the complex political landscape of the 18th century, marked by the rise of the Nawab of Arcot and intense struggles, including the Poligar Wars, which eventually paved the way for British dominance
