Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.
[edit] Kamudi
Town in the Mudukulattur tahsil of the Ramnad estate, Madura District, Madras, situated in 9 degree 24' N. and 78 degree 23' E. The population (1901) is 6,854, of whom 1,000 are Musalmans. It contains a large Siva temple, which has been the subject of a famous law-suit, the Shanans, a caste of toddy-drawers and merchants, claiming the right to enter within its precincts and the majority of the rest of the Hindus opposing their claim. The town participated in the riots which were caused in 1899 buy this and other pretensions of the Shanans, and a small force of punitive police is now quartered on it. Brass and bell-metal vessels are manufactured here.
