[edit] Maravan Pada.

Can someone explain why the information about the 'maravan pada' was removed/ Thanks. jeyarajan_r@hotmail.com

I removed 'maravan pada' as i felt it was incorrect. If you have sources for that; you can re-insert those sentences.Bharatveer 03:46, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I have changed "maharajah's soldiers" to "british soldiers" as the final fight was between Velu thambi and the british forces.Bharatveer 03:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maravan Padai

The distance between Padhmanaba Puram and Marukal kurichi is 100 Km. A 4-5 hours of horse ride. Well, I got the information about Marakal kurichi from the book ‘A History of Tinnevelly’ wriiten by CALDWELL,BISHOP R, a missionary. 500 horse men from Marukal kurichi won the military of ‘ettu veetil pillaimar’ and brought back Marthanda varma into power. Marukal kurichi is still a village near Nanguneri . The villagers today don’t know the fact that their ancestors led the first Asian military that won the European forces, not Tojo of Japan at Yellow sea. I add this reference again. Can you please tell me, where did you get the information about ‘Maravan pada’?

[edit] Maravan Pada

Hi, Why the maravan pada info is not there. Can you please explain. Can you please add a better description when you add or remove some info. Thanks. jeyarajan_r@hotmail.com

Pls refer Travancore State Manual-Velu Pillai.

Written in 1940, it clearly debunks many of the claims of Travancore being weak in its early history.I think maravan pada is also mentioned in this one. I felt that most of the earlier sentences were just meant to glorify panyaanadu, nayaks , etc etc and historically inaccurate.Bharatveer 10:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)Bharatveer 10:11, 24 May 2006 (UTC)Bharatveer 10:13, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rama Varma

The name Rama varma is a very common name among royalty of kerala. The Dharma raja or Kathika Thirunal Rama varma is more apt name also recognised in the history among the people of kerala. The link was shifted to dharma raja.activevoid 06:56, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dutch empire overseas?

How come the above mentioned template is added to the article, when the article itself says that Travancorean king Marthanda Varma defeated the Dutch general, De Lennoy?? rohith 20:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] where lies the northern end of Travancore?is it Muvattupuzha?

Upto which part of modern Kerala does the old travancore exists?the northern part especially.does travencore reached beyond Muvattupuzha,Angamali etc.also it seems the article does not define the division btw tranvancore and Cochin properly-almong with a MAP which shows Tiru-Kochi;not alone travancore.
