HISTORY OF THE NAYAKS OF MADURA

The history of the Nayaks of Madura is a subject which has received some attention already and there have been a few attempts at presenting that history in a connected form. Both Nelsons Manual of the Madura country and Caldwells History of Tinnevelly have become out of the date owing to the fresh material that has been brought to bear upon the subjects chiefly by the advance made in epigraphical researches and to a smaller extent by manuscript work.
