Answer in detail:

Write an essay on south Indian Rebellion.

The owners of Southern region were frustrated with Company’s policies that led to an outburst of anger and hatred in the form of wars.

The major causes of the rebellion were:

1. The company interfered in the internal matters of the local regions, and also subsumed the powers of the respective rulers.

2. The Polygars and the princes were reduced from their power and made as a pensioner.

3. Their policies were rude, they collected hefty taxes and treated the people with inferiority.

4. Kattabomman who agitated over their policies was hanged.

The above causes angered the people, and the rebel started in 1801. Maradhu Pandiyar was the prominent rebellion from South India. After Kattobomman was hanged the British sent army against Maradhu. The rebels were defeated at some regions Dindigul, Madurai, and Ramanand was captured by the British. Madhu hid in the forest of Singampunari but Thonddaiman captured him and handed him over British, and he was hanged in 1801. Thus the rebellion came to an end.
