Talk:Palayamkottai

The sobriquet "Oxford of south India" is being challenged and removed as there is no citation for that.Kindly cite a reference for that sobriquet to be reinstated. This article had a vague but definite bias in its write-up towards a certain group of people,organisations,institutions et.al.so I was forced to delete such content rather advertisements.Other members kindly cooperate in making free of such misuses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aks bhatt (talk • contribs) 17:17, 25 August 2012 (UTC) I took this out as I'm not sure what it means: "There are several colonies, such as Shanthi Nagar, Maharaja Nagar, Perumal Puram, NGO colony, KTC nagar, Pothys Nagar, Kulavanigar Puram." What's meant by 'colonies'? Jihg 03:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone have any information on the history of Palayamkottai? Are there any architectural monuments, inscriptions or other evidence to indicate its ancient history? Were there Christians in this area when the Portuguese missionaries (Jesuits) arrived here? Marco Polo mentions about the Christian settlements on the South Eastern coast of India. Was Palayamkottai associated with those settlements or were the Christian Jews/settlers driven to the West coast by Muslim inroads in the region after the decline of the Pandyan rule?

While I am in search of competant citations,the older name of this town is Thirumangai Nagar(am).It is said to be in the inscriptions found inside Siva and gopalasamy temple.But I could not interpret the tenth centuary Tamil found in these inscriptions.

The name "Palayamkottai" signifies the rule of Palaiyakkarar, poligar, polygar or palegar,a class of territorial administrative cum military chiefs (Knights and Barons) appointed by the Nayak rulers of South India (notably Vijayanagar Empire, Nayaks of Madurai and the Kakatiya dynasty) during 16th - 18th centuries. Palaiyakkarar (Polygar) who was to administer their Palayams (territories) from their Fortified centers. Their chief function was to collect taxes, maintain law and order, run the local judiciary, and maintain a battalion of troops for the Nayak.--Lakshmanan (talk) 05:59, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Palayamkottai was the hub of military and political activity during the period of Palaiyakkarar,especially during the rule of Veerapandiya Kattabomman--Lakshmanan (talk) 07:08, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
