He led a revolt against the British East India Company in 1809, which was ultimately unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<p>The revolt was caused by a number of factors, including the British East India Company&#8217;s increasing interference in the affairs of Travancore, the Company&#8217;s attempts to impose taxes on the people of Travancore, and the Company&#8217;s support for the rival princely family of Cochin.<\/p>\n<p>The revolt began in 1809, when Velu Thampi Dalawa declared Travancore independent from the British East India Company. The revolt was initially successful, and Velu Thampi Dalawa was able to capture a number of British forts. However, the British East India Company eventually suppressed the revolt, and Velu Thampi Dalawa was killed in battle in 1810.<\/p>\n<p>The revolt led by Velu Thampi Dalawa was a significant event in the history of Travancore. It was the first major revolt against the British East India Company in India, and it showed that the people of Travancore were willing to fight for their independence.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A is incorrect because the Dutch had lost control of Travancore in 1795.<\/li>\n<li>Option C is incorrect because Velu Thampi Dalawa was a loyal servant of the Travancore royal family.<\/li>\n<li>Option D is incorrect because the French had little influence in Travancore at the time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Dutch dominance&#8221;
