Thuluva Vellalar
The Thuluva Vellalar are classified
as a Forward caste, meaning that they obtain no redress under India's system of
positive discrimination.
They were formerly significant
landowners.
Thuluva Vellalar is a sub-caste of
Vellalars and were immigrants from the Tulunad, a part of the modern district
of South Canara.
A King named Athondai Chakravarthy
had brought down the people of Thuluva Vellalar to the present day Thondaimandalam
of Tamil Nadu.
Athondai Chakravarthy had
established his rule over Northern Tamil Nadu after winning the battle over the
Kurumbar.
This is the reason that part of
North Tamil Nadu was named as Thondaimandalam, named after this victorious
king.
Thuluva Vellalar is a majority caste among the
Northern Tamil Nadu and Southern Andhra Pradesh.
Originally a
title meaning "royal child", it came to be given to administrators of
a king or a temple, often holding large estates on behalf of the latter.
The Pillais
of Kerala had authority over their own regions and right of judgment in
provincial disputes, as delegated by the king.
They
collected fines and taxes and in return received a share of the income they
collected. In wartime they led the king's armies.
Some desoms were
grouped together under a Prince into larger units that represented earlier
independent kingdoms. Many Pillais originally functioned essentially as royal
governors.
Pillais still held
primary influence and, as "advisers of the king", were regarded as
supporters of the king's power.
They showed
that power for 1800s when they deposed Jayanthan-Sankaran-Nampoothiri as Prime
Minister of Travancore.
Bala Rama
Varma was one of Travancore's least popular sovereigns whose reign was marked
by unrest and various internal and external political problems.
Following the
atrocities in 1790s that resulted in the murder of Raja Kesavadas (Kesava
Pillai before becoming Raja), Velu Thampi Dalawa, a Karya-kar Pillai of South
Travancore district, gathered the people of his land and an uprising ensued.
People from
all parts of Travancore united to surround the palace and demand the immediate
dismissal and banishment of Jayanthan Sankaran Nampoothiri.
They also demanded
that his two ministers be brought to a public place then undergo flogging and
have their ears cut off.
