*๐ก๏ธFIRST ANGLO-MYSORE WAR*
โ๏ธThe First Anglo-Mysore War (1767โ1769) was the first of four military conflicts fought between the Kingdom of Mysore and the British East India Company, along with its allies. It marked the beginning of a series of struggles for control in South India.
*๐Background*
โ๏ธThe war took place in South India.
โ๏ธHyder Ali, the de facto ruler of Mysore, had risen to power and posed a serious threat to British interests in the region.
โ๏ธThe British East India Company sought to check Hyder Aliโs growing influence.
โ๏ธMysore had strategic alliances with the French, while the British were allied with the Marathas and the Nizam of Hyderabadโat least initially.
*๐Causes of the War*
โ๏ธExpansionist ambitions of both the British and Hyder Ali.
โ๏ธBreakdown of trust between the East India Company and Indian rulers.
โ๏ธStrategic interests in the Carnatic region and control over South India.
โ๏ธMysoreโs alliance with the French, which threatened British influence.
*๐Key Events*
โ๏ธHyder Ali surprised the British with his swift military tactics and alliance with the Nizam of Hyderabad (though the Nizam later switched sides).
โ๏ธHyder Ali launched an invasion of the Carnatic, reaching as close as Madras (now Chennai).
โ๏ธThe British forces were unprepared and suffered several defeats.
โ๏ธEventually, both sides agreed to negotiate due to military exhaustion and lack of support.
*๐Outcome*
โ๏ธThe war ended with the Treaty of Madras in 1769.
โ๏ธThe treaty promised mutual restitution of conquered territories and mutual defense.
It did not resolve underlying tensions, leading to future conflicts.
*๐Significance*
โ๏ธThe war exposed weaknesses in the British military position in South India.
โ๏ธIt elevated Hyder Aliโs reputation as a skilled military leader.
โ๏ธThe British failure to honor the Treaty of Madras later contributed to the Second Anglo-Mysore War.

*๐ก๏ธSmog-Eating Technology*
โ๏ธA photocatalytic technology based primarily on Titanium Dioxide (TiOโ).
โ๏ธWorks through coatings applied on roads, pavements, buildings, etc. to neutralize air pollutants.
*๐How it Works?*
โ๏ธTiOโ acts as a photocatalyst when exposed to sunlight/UV light.
โ๏ธConverts harmful gases like Nitrogen Dioxide (NOโ) & VOCs โ into nitrates, COโ & water.
โ๏ธCreates a โself-cleaningโ effect, breaking down pollutants on contact.
*๐Benefits*
โ๏ธReduces harmful pollutants (NOโ, hydrocarbons).
โ๏ธImproves public health by lowering toxic air exposure.
โ๏ธLow-maintenance, works passively under sunlight.
โ๏ธCan be integrated with existing urban infrastructure without major disruption.
*๐Challenges*
โ๏ธNeeds scientific validation under Indian/local conditions.
โ๏ธCost-effectiveness of large-scale application still debated.
โ๏ธConcerns about long-term durability of coatings & safe disposal of residues.
