Subscribe and Share Deshasangam    / deshasangam   Sakthan Thampuran was born in 1751, in the Vellarapilly Vadakke Kovilakam to Ambika Thampuran and Chendose Aniyan Namboodiri. Ambika Thampuran died soon after, leaving behind her three-year old son, and Chittamma Thampuran assumed her role as the mother to the young boy, giving him the pet name, 'Sakthan'. In 1715, the Raja of Cochin, Rama Varma, adopted from the Chazhiyur Family that he belonged to, two girls - aged twelve and six - as the Princesses, and Veera Kerala Varma and Ravi Varma as the fifth and sixth Princes of the Cochin Royal Family. From the youngest Princess, a continuous Matrilineal line of inheritance can be traced to the present day. In other words, she is the sole female ancestor of the present Cochin Royal Family members. The famous Raja, Sakthan Thampuran, was the first grandson of this known ancestor. Sakthan Thampuran’s maternal aunt or Chittamma had two daughters and a granddaughter known as, Ikkavu Thampuran. Ikkavu Thampuran had four daughters and these daughters’ lineage is the foundation for the four thavazhis of the Cochin Royal Family as we know of it now. Around the period of Sakthan Thampuran's birth, the Cochin Royal Family consisted of Raja Rama Varma who died in 1763, Elaya Raja who died as Raja Rama Varma in 1775, and the First Prince Kerala Varma who died in 1790 as the Raja. There were two female Thampurans also, one being Chittamma Thampuran. This period of time has been covered very vividly and elaborately by Puthezhath Rama Menon in his book ‘Sakthan Thampuran’, which was first published in 1942. A brief, but authoritative, account on the same period of time in history, was also given by C. Achyutha Menon in his book, the ‘Cochin State Manual’. Both these authors were able to review and summarize the records that are available, even now, in the Dutch Archives, the British Archives and in the Madras Archives. During the time of Sakthan Thampuran’s childhood, the fortunes of the Cochin State were at its lowest ebb. Consolidation of power in Travancore, the territorial expansion going on under the leadership of King Marthanda Varma from 1730 to 1740, the waning influence of the Dutch and the final large-scale invasion of the Zamorin had dwindled the fortunes of Cochin to an all-time low. A new treaty with Travancore in 1760, instigated and enabled by the Minister of Cochin, Paliath Komi Achan II, facilitated the defeat of the Zamorin once and for all, after centuries of intermittent war between the two perennial contenders since the time of Cheraman Perumal. Co-operation between Travancore and Cochin resulted in the construction of ‘Nedumkotta’, also called the ‘Travancore Lines’, to ward off invasion from the north. The 1760s and 1770s were dominated by Hyder Ali Khan who invaded and ruled over Malabar and parts of Cochin. In 1766, when Sakthan Thampuran was the de jure Elaya Raja, but still de facto, which resulted in Cochin having to yield to Hyder Ali Khan without a struggle. In 1769, Sakthan was asked to take charge of Cochin at the recommendation of Raja Rama Varma of Travancore, Adrian Van Moen - the Dutch Governor and Paliath Komi Achan, with the consent of the ailing Cochin Raja. Sakthan was only 18 years old then. Hyder Ali Khan and his successor Tippu Sultan, treated Cochin with friendly consideration. Cochin had to pay a yearly tribute of 25 per cent of the revenue. Sakthan’s political and diplomatic skills proved to be of significant value in inducing Tippu to maintaining a friendly relationship with Cochin. Of course, the designs Tippu had against Travancore was a major deciding factor. Several letters were exchanged between Sakthan and Tippu. They also had multiple conferences in Palghat. Sakthan suggested the ingenious plan of Tippu sending emissaries directly to the Travancore Court for making Travancore a tributary of Mysore. Travancore replied that they were affiliated with the English East India Company, and hence it was impossible to be a tributary of Tippu Sultan. Tippu’s persecution and atrocities in Malabar eventually convinced Sakthan Thampuran to seek an alliance with the English East India Company. The Powney Treaty was signed only after the English declared war against Tippu. The treaty, which was composed of 9 articles, was signed on the 6th of January, 1791. The salient points were : 1. The Company will recover the possessions and territories under the Sultan, which were wrested from the Raja. 2. The Raja, while in possession of these territories, will become a tributary to the United English East India Company by paying a tribute. #sakthanthampuran #sakthan #kochimaharaja #kingofkochi #rajasakthan #hillpalace #hillpalacemeusium #sakthanthampuranhistory #thrissur #thrissurpooram #tripunithurapalace #kochi #kerala #india #deshasangam #malayalamyoutubechannel #keralahistory #keralahistoryvideos #kochicharithram #hillpalacehistory #travancore
