The first resistance to east India company‟s territorial aggrandisement was from Puli Thevar of Nerkattumsevali the Tirunelvli region. This was followed by other thieftains in the Tamil country such as Velunachiar, Veerapandiya Kattabomman, the marudhu brothers and Dheeran Chinna Malai. known as the Palayakkarars Wars, the culmination of which was Vellore Revolt of 1806. Palayams of Palayakkarars : The word “palayan” means a domain, a military camp or a little kingdom. Palayakkarars in tamil refers to the holder of a little kingdom as a feudatory to a greaer Sovereign. under this system, palayam was given for valuable military Services rendered by any individual. This type was i practice during the Rule of Prataba Rudhra of Warangal in the kakatiya kingdom. This system was put in place in Tamilnadu by ViswanathaNayak, of Madurai in 1529, with the support of his minister Ariyanathar. Traditionally there were supposed to be 72 palayakkarars. The palayakkarars was free to collect revenue, administer the territory, settle disputes and maintain law and order. Their police duties were known as Padikaval or After Kaval.

During 17th & 19th Centuries the palayakkars dominated the politics of Tamil country. Reason of Palayakkarars Revolt The Nawab of Arcot had borrowed money from the East India company to meet the expenses he had incurred during the Carnatic wars. When his debts exceeded his capacity to pay, the power of collecting the land revenue dues from Southern Palayakkarars was given to the East India company. Claiming that their land had been handed down to them over 60 generations. Many Palayakkarars refused to pay faxes to the company officials. The company branded the defiant palayakkarars as reveks abd accused then of bying to dishobthe peace and transquiling of the country. This led to conflict between the East India company and the palayakkarars. 1) Revolt of Puli Thevar - 1755-1767 In march 1755 Mahfuzkhan [brother of the Nawab of Arcot) was sent with a contingent of the company army under colonerl Heron to Tirunelvi. Madurai easily fell into their hands. There after Col.Herpm was urged to deal with Puli Thevar as he continued to defy the authoriny of the company.
