Abstract :
Pudukkottai, a Princely State, was ruled by the Thondaimans. While the de jure ruler was Thondaiman, the de facto ruler was the British. As there was no organised opposition to the British , they wanted to maintain and keep peace in Pudukkottai also. But Pudukkottai presented certain sociological riddles like the highly intractable Kallar and Arimalam Korawars. They posed a veritable threat to the affluent Chettiyars. As the native Ruler and Kallars belonged to the same community, bringing the culprits under the administration of impartial Justice seemed very difficult. Taking all these factors into consideration, the British imposed their own system of Police Administration and the Thondaimans readily obliged. Before analyzing the Police Administration in Pudukkottai, it is necessary to know communities that were considered the criminal classes of this State, their status, activities, character, behaviour etc.
