Pondicherry was gallantly defended by Lally for eight
months before he surrendered on January 16, 1761. With the
loss of Jinji and Mahe, the French power in India was reduced
to its lowest. Lally, after being taken as prisoner of war at
London, returned to France where he was imprisoned and
executed in 1766.
