The Muvendar

  The Sangam Age The first three centuries of the Common Era are widely accepted as the Sangam period,as the information for this period is mainly derived from the sangam Literature.More Correctly this has to be called as the early historical period and the second century BCE,as we have Clear epigraphical and archaeological evidence,in addition to literary evidence. The Muvendar Though the three Tamil ruling families were known to Ashoka in the third century BCE itself,some individual names are known only from the Sangam poems of the first century and later.Known as Muvendar, 'the three crowned kings',the Cheras,Cholas,and Pandays controlled major agrarian territories,trade routes and towns.But the satiyaputra (same as Athiyaman)found in the Ashokan inscription along with the above three houses is a velir chief in the sangam poems.

VELLORE MUTINY

VELLORE MUTINY   Vellore was the capital of erstwhile North Arcot district in Tamil Nadu. At present, this district is named after its capital Vellore. It is a well fortified and beautiful city. With the expansion of the East India Company's rule in India, the native rulers and their dependents suffered. The native rulers either submitted or rebelled. These rebellions had no clear vision or ideal but purely motivated by the territorial interest of the native rulers and their ambition to preserve the old feudal order. The heroism and sacrifice of individuals like Puli Thevar, Kattabomman and Marudhu Brothers had no parallel. But all these Leaders never organised the common people for a unified and meaningful cause. The ideas of nationalism , political consciousness and organized struggle came much later. In Vellore the native sepoys rose in revolt in 1806. This incident differs from other previous rebellions in. The earlier rebellions were those of the native rulers. The vellore Mut...
