We have heard about Rani Chinnama and in recent times we have witnessed the story of Rani Abakha Chowta in the Balgatha podcast, which she had fought with the Portuguese. She was a great warrior queen of the Karnataka kingdom. Come. In the 18th century, when the British spread their hands and feet in India, they fought with many kings, kings and their armies. And many of the kings of India and their soldiers fought bravely against the British army. Some of them had fought against women, and it is said that Indian women's freedom soldiers fought with great courage against the British government. They had won many battles, but many times they were in the side of losing, and as a result, they were very brave and proud of the army. But many of the brave leaders like Rani Velu Nacchar also tried to keep these battles going. There is a historian whose name is Professor Sanjeev. According to him, in the middle of the 17th century, the Indian independence of 1877, about 90 years ago, the British army had defeated Rani Velu. By the way, in the 1730s, Raja Selmutu Setupati and Ramnath Samarajya's queen Sakandhi Muthal were here. This Samarajya is close to the Madurai of the Tamil Nadu kingdom of the time. Velu was his only child. His parents knew that he needed his daughter Kaushal. So, Velu was very smart in using weapons since childhood. He learned the art of martial arts, and he was a very good horseman. He was also very smart in shooting. He fought with wooden sticks, which is also called stick fighting in English. He was also very good at it. Not only that, he also learned French, English, Urdu, Saith and many other languages. And he became very good in politics and martial arts. As he grew up, many people started to believe in his leadership. Rani Velu married Raja of Shiv Ganga. His wife had a daughter named Velachi Natchiar. In one war, Rani Velu's husband Virgati arrived. With the British army of the Kote, his army was fighting against Raja of Shiv Ganga. In June 1772, Rani Velu Natchiar lost his husband at Kaleyar Koyil. The Akraman Kari British army looted Kaleyar Koyil city and destroyed it. Rani took refuge in the city of Virupachi with his daughter. This was a state that was not far from Ramnath. And in this area was the ruler of Palaykarar-Kopala-Naykar-Namakkar Raja. Virupachi city is now in Kudalore district of Tamil Nadu. And it is said that it has been here for some time. In a few years, he established a very powerful army. There were many women in that army. And her wife Vinka Kaman, a warrior named Kuyali, took care of her. Rani's army started to defeat the British in one war. In Raj Rajeshwari temple, the British had gathered a lot of gunpowder. Kuyali destroyed the guns of the gunpowder and gave her life. Due to her sacrifice, Rani was very helpful in defeating the British. After that, in 1780, Rani fought against the British again. And she was victorious at that time. She brought her kingdom back and ruled the kingdom for the next ten years. After that, she gave the kingdom to two brothers who were known as Maradhu Bhai. Chhote Bhai, Chinna Maradhu was appointed as a minister. And Bade Bhai, Vellai Maradhu was appointed as the commander of the army. Anyway, these brave brothers also fought a lot. In the month of October of this year, they captured the British in the Thirupattur area of Shiv Ganga district. We will tell you their story in another episode. Let's go back to Rani Velu Nachiar.
