Principality of Pudukkottai
The principality of Pudukkottai was created
by Raghunatha Kilavan Sethupathi of Ramnad (1673-1708), who
appointed his brother-in-law Raghunatha Thondaiman as ruler of
the area in appreciation of his services. After the death of
Sethupati, Raghunatha Thondaiman remained in office and
thereafter the rulers of Pudukkotai, though considered vassals
of Ramnad, often pursued an independent policy.
At the end of the 18th century, Pudukkottai came under the
official protection of Britain as the Tondaimans were threatened
by the Mysore rulers Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan during this
period.
Pudukkottai became a princely state of British India under the
political authority of the Madras Presidency. In 1901 it had an
area of 4663 square miles and a population of 380,000.
Raja Rajah Rajagopala Tondaiman (1928-1948), the last ruler of
the Tondaiman family was crowned by the British government at
the age of 6.
The Principality of Pudukkottai entered the Indian Union on
April 3, 1948 and became part of the Tiruchirappalli District.
