The Nawabs of Arcot ruled a region called Carnatic under the rule of the Monghols emperor Aurangzeb until 1765, after which the region became independent, but the territory shrank further and further in favor of the British India Company, which finally took over the entire territory in 1855.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Les Nawabs d'Arcot dirigèrent une région nommée carnatic sous l'emprise de empereur Monghols Aurangzeb jusqu'en 1765 après la région devint indépendante mais la superficie de territoire diminua de plus en plus au profit de la compagnie de l'Inde Britanique qui finit par prendre tout le territoire en 1855.

Interesting fact

The 1 Cash coin from the Nawabdom of the Carnatic (Indian Hindu Dynasties) made of Copper weighing 1.6 g is interesting because it was used during a time of significant cultural and economic exchange between India and other parts of the world, particularly the Middle East and Europe. This coin was likely used in trade and commerce, and its design and materials reflect the influences of various cultures.
