They were three brothers, Muthuramalinga Thevar, Chinna Thevar, and Veerapandiya Kattabomman, who resisted British expansion in the early 19th century.<\/p>\n<p>The brothers were born into a family of warriors and were well-educated in the martial arts. They were also skilled in administration and finance. In 1801, the British East India Company invaded Sivagangai and the brothers led a resistance movement against the British. The resistance movement was successful in driving the British out of Sivagangai, but the brothers were eventually captured and executed by the British in 1806.<\/p>\n<p>The Marudhu Brothers are considered to be national heroes in India and their story is often told in Tamil literature and folklore. They are remembered for their bravery and their fight for independence from British rule.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pudukkottai was a princely state in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu that was ruled by the Sethupathi dynasty. The Sethupathi rulers were loyal to the British and did not resist British expansion.<\/li>\n<li>Travancore was a princely state in the Indian state of Kerala that was ruled by the Travancore royal family. The Travancore rulers were also loyal to the British and did not resist British expansion.<\/li>\n<li>Ramanathapuram was a princely state in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu that was ruled by the Maravar dynasty. The Maravar rulers were initially loyal to the British, but they later rebelled against British rule in 1801. The rebellion was unsuccessful and the Maravar rulers were forced to sign a treaty with the British in 1802.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope this helps!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Pudukkottai&#8221;
