in Southern India, a village in the native state of Hyderabad, or dominions of the Nizam, situate on the tongue of land inclosed between the rivers Juah and Kaitna. This place is rendered famous in Indian history, by a decisive victory gained on the 23rd September 1803, over the combined armies of Scindia and the Rajah of Berar, by Colonel Wellesley, afterwards Duke of Wellington. The British troops engaged in this battle amounted only to 4500 men, while those of the enemy consisted of nearly 50,000. The great disparity of numbers between the combatants, the skill and promptitude displayed by the British commander, combined with the valour of his men, and the signal defeat of the Mahrattas, all conspired to give a lustre to this action, which is scarcely surpassed by that of any other exploit in the annals of Indian warfare.
