1)The Jesuit fathers have requested the governors from the days of Francois Martin to demolish the Vedapuriswaran temple which existed at the present site of the mission press on the north of the San Paulo Church popularly known as sambakovil. Their contention was that the noises of the temple disturbed the mass service in the church. All the Governors up to Dumas have resisted the Jesuit fathers request. But Dupleix took up the demolition strongly influenced by his wife and encouraged by captain Paradis. The temple was brought down on the fateful day of 8 sept 1748. – -page11-
2)Since the French did not know the local laguages they took in to the service persons knowing French and Tamil and even more.
They were Dubassis . In Tamil They were called ‘Mudaliar’. This word
was not a caste title. It meant a person who was the first man
or The head of Tamil Community. –-page18-
