From Trade to Territory - The Company Establishes Power

Question

Write a note on  Rani Channamma.

Answer

Rani Channamma had challenged the policy of “paramountcy” . For example, when the British tried to annex the small state of Kitoor (in Karnataka today), Rani Channamma took to arms and led an anti-British resistance movement. She was arrested in 1824 and died in prison in 1829.
