Question

What was the importance of Tiruchirappalli proclamation?

Answer 1

1. The Marudu Pandyas issued a proclamation of Independence called the Tiruchirappalli Proclamation in June 1801.
2. It was the first call to the Indians to unite against the British.
3. A copy of the proclamation was posted on the walls of the Nawab’s palace in the fort of Tiruchi and another copy was placed on the walls of the Vaishnava temple at Srirangam. Thus Marudu brothers spread the spirit of opposition against the English everywhere.
4. As a result, many Palayakkarars of Tamil Nadu went on a rally to fight against the English.
