	Fisherman groups fight pitched battle-Pondicherry-
		Two groups of fishermen were involved a pitched battle at Veerampatti village in the Union Territory today, bringing in the police who fired two rounds to disperse the riotious crowd whose violence saw four men landing at the General Hospital with serious injuries and left the village tense.
		The fishermen village panchayat of Veerampatti, which should be distinguished from the official civic bodies, is a local set-up formed by the villagers themselves for settling disputes within the village and taking collective decisions concerning the village.
		As such, one Rajaguru is the chieftain of the village and he was being challenged by one Kankeyan, aspiring to defeat the incumbent in the informal elections, causing groupism within the village, falling within the limits of Pondicherry.

	Sir Eyre Coote - LoveToKnow 1911
		Soon afterwards came the battle of Plassey, which would in all probability not have taken place but for Coote's soldierly advice at the council of war; and after the defeat of the Nawab he led a detachment in pursuit of the French for 400 m.
		The battle was won by Coote under most unfavourable conditions against odds of five to one, and is justly ranked as one of the greatest feats of the British in India.
		It was followed up by another hard-fought battle at Pollilur (the scene of an earlier triumph of Hyder over a British force) on the 27th of August, in which the British won another success, and by the rout of the Mysore troops at Sholingarh a month later.
