Answer:

  • By the Treaty of Seringapattam, Malabar was ceded to the British in 1792.  
  • The Kurichya were the tribal people who lived in the Wayanadu region of Malabar.  
  • The Kurichiyas under their leader Thalakkal Chandu had played a leading role in the Pazhassi revolts. Many of Pazhassi victories were attributed to the Kurichiyas.  
  • After the suppression of Pazhassi revolt, the British subjected the Kurichiyas to untold miseries. The British captured many of them and reduced some of them to slavery.  
  • However it was the new revenue settlement made by the new collector Thomas Warden that led the Kurichiyas to raise the banner of revolt.  
  • They were forced to pay the revenue in cash rather than in the traditional mode of kind.  
  • The defaulters were treated cruelly; their property seized and they were evicted from the land.  
  • Unable to bear up with the British any longer, the Kurichyas rose in revolt in March 1812 under the leadership of their chief Rama Namby.  
  • The 'Kurumbar' tribe also aided their fellow tribals in the fight.  
  • Thomas Harvey Baber (Thalassery Sub Collector, who suppressed the Kurichya revolt) has noted that the aim of the rebels was to expel the 'Watta Thoppikkar' from the country  
  • The rebellion spread to all parts of Wayanad; the Kurichya priests accelerated the rebellion by declaring it to be sanctified by the blessings of the tribal Gods.  
  • The Kurichiya Kolkars (Tribal Police) left the service and joined the rebels. The rebellion assumed the characteristic of a mass upheaval.  
  • Within a short span of time, the rebellion spread to the whole of Wayanad.  
  • The key passes came under their control. They attacked police stations; persecuted English personals. They cut reinforcements to the British troops in the valley. They besieged British military posts at Sulthan Bathery and Mananthavady.  
  • For a few days at least, the British flag ceased to fly in Wayanad.  
  • However the rebellion was crushed.
