Answer 2

Answer:

The cause of the second Carnatic War was the interference of the English and the French in politics of the native rulers with a view to enhancing their political power and area of influence. Asaf Jah, Nizam-ul-mulk of Hyderabad, died in May 1748. The throne of Hyderabad was contested between Nasir Jang, the second son of the Nizam, and Muzaffar Jang, his grandson. Muzaffar Jang went to the Marathas to seek their support. There he met Chanda Sahib, the son of Dost Ali, the former ruler of Karnataka. Chanda Sahib coveted the throne of Karnataka. Both of them made a common cause and approached Dupleix for support. Dupleix obtained the release of Chanda Sahib and Muzaffar Jang in capturing the thrones of Karnataka and Hyderabad respectively.
