Solution
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation:
- Puli Thevar, a Palayakkarar (Poligar) of Tamil Nadu, was one of the earliest freedom fighters who resisted British and Nawab rule in South India.
- He sought the support of Hyder Ali and the French to strengthen his fight against the British and the Nawab of Arcot.
