Answer the following questions briefly:

Write a few lines on the conflict between Queen Meenakshi and Chanda Sahib.


Queen Meenakshi was the regent of Vijaya Kumara. His father, Bangaru plotted a conspiracy against her to occupy the throne. The queen asked for help from the Nawab of Carnatic, Chanda Sahib and in return promised him a huge amount. Chanda Sahib thus assisted her in defeating Bangaru. However later, Chanda Sahib removed the veil of goodness and showed his true color by imprisoning Meenakshi in her own palace at Trichy. He thus occupied the throne and became the master of Madurai.
