Veerapandiya Kattabomman (a.k.a.Veerapandya Katta Brahmana)[1][2][3] was an 18th-century Palayakarrar and chieftain from Panchalankurichi in Tamil Nadu, India. His ancestors migrated to Tamil Nadu from areas in present day Andhra Pradesh during the Vijayanagar period.[4][5]He refused to accept the sovereignty of the British East India Company and waged a war against them. He was captured by the British with the help of the ruler of the kingdom of Pudukottai, Vijaya Raghunatha Tondaiman, and was hanged at at Kayathar on 16 October 1799.[6]

The Tamil language film Veerapandiya Kattabomman, starring Sivaji Ganesan, is based on his life.[7]

Legacy

Kattabomman memorial at Kayathar

The historian Susan Bayly says that Kattabomman is considered a Robin Hood-like figure in local folklore and is the subject of several traditional narrative ballads in the kummi verse form. The site of his execution at Kayathar has become a "powerful local shrine" and at one time sheep were sacrificed there.[8] The Government of Tamil Nadu maintains a memorial at Kayathar and the remnants of the old fort at Panchalankurichi is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India.[9][10] In 2006, the Tirunelveli district administration organised a festival at Panchalankurichi on his birth anniversary.[11]

To commemorate the bicentenary of Kattabomman’s hanging, the Government of India released a postal stamp in his honour on 16 October 1999.[12] The Indian Navy communications centre at Vijayanarayanam is named INS Kattabomman.[13]
