The book titled "The French in South India, 1736-1760" is a historical record compiled by Ananda Ranga Pillai, a merchant and dubashi of the French East India Company. The book provides insights into the political scenario in the Madras province during the eighteenth century, particularly the Anglo-French Carnatic wars. Pillai, known as the "Samuel Pepys of French India," was a close confidant of Joseph François Dupleix, the Governor-General of the French East India Company. The book reflects Pillai's accounts of the political events and his interactions with Dupleix. It also includes the history of Pondicherry, which Pillai recorded in his diaries. This book is part of a series of articles titled "The Historical Material in the Private Diary of Ananda Ranga Pillai (1736-1761)" and was later published as a book in 1940. The English translation of the book was published by the Madras Government. The book discusses the activities of the French in the Madras province, with a special focus on Dupleix's political activities. It also provides a history of Pondicherry, which was under French rule during this period. This book is one of the few Indian writings that offer a detailed perspective on European activities in India during the eighteenth century.
