Surandai

Surandai is a panchayat town in Tirunelveli area in the Indian territory of Tamil Nadu. Surandai is situated in the Veerakeralampudur taluk of Tirunelveli, at the foot of the Western Ghats. Surandai panchayat town contained fundamental Surandai and Keela Surandai, Aladipatti, Bangalow Surandai, Kurungavanam and some of Anaikulam Pavanasapuram. The primary surandai name was Raja Sooriya Nallur next changed Suranthai some as of late 50 years called surandai.

As the Dalavay Mudali, the legislative leader of Tirunelveli, turned out to be progressively free of Madurai amid the season of inconveniences that started in 1732, the Marava polygars of the territory transparently challenged the Dalavay's position and quit paying tribute. Polygar Kattari Velladurai was the pioneer of the disobedient polygars from Vadagarai, Nerkattumseval managed by Puli The and Sivagiri.

Surandai was one of the palayams that joined Puli The's alliance in 1754-1762 yet deserted the reason before the polygars' last thrashing in 1762. At the point when Kollamkondan again revolted in 1764, after the execution of Yusuf Khan for having double-crossed the nawab, Surandai rushed to join. Triumphs over the Anglo-Nawabi powers helped the revolt spread to different polygars. Toward the finish of the First Polygar War in 1799, the polygar of Surandai surrendered one fortification and 61 outfitted men to Major J. Bannerman.
