History

Nilakottai palayam was one of the 26 palayams in Dindigul province. The founder of Nilakottai Kulappa Nayajar came from Vijayanagaram, in 1366 A.D. before the period of Vishwanatha Nayak. ^{[citation needed]}

Kulappa Nayak

Nilakottai consists mainly of arable lands. For assistance in repelling an invasion, the emperor of Vijayanagar rewarded Makkala Nayaka, of the Kambala caste, with lands west of Madura where, with the permission of Krishna Devaraya Raya, he built the mud fort of Nilakkottai in 1366 A.D. He ruled for 12 years and was succeeded by his son, Kulappa Nayaka. ^{[citation needed]}

Along with the Pandya King Chandra Sekara of Madura, Kulappa was disposed by a Chola Prince named Veera Sekara Chozha, And both defeated rulers appealed to the Krishna Deva Raya for help. Krishna Deva Raya sent Kotikam Nagama Nayakar to his aid. Nagama Nayakkar suppressed the Chozha ruler and took Madurai, but suddenly withdrew his allegiance and declined to help the Pandya king, usurping the throne. The Vijaya Nagar emperor demanded reprisal. Nayakkar's son, Vishwanaha volunteered. He overthrew his father and handed him over to the emperor. As a reward for his loyalty, the emperor appointed Viswanha as the governor of Madurai. ^{[citation needed]}

During Vishwanatha Nayakkar rule, Tamil Nadu Kulappa Nayakkar aided him in numerous conflicts. When Pandiya assaulted Madurai country, Kulappa Nayakkar ended their revolt.

After Vishwanatha Nayakkar, Madurai was ruled by Krishappa Nayakkar (1554–1572).

Under British Rules

Droughts precented agricultural success in Nilakotttai, so Kulappa Nayakar was unable to pay his tribute to the British government. The conflict came to a head in 1797 when, after sending his family to Dobinayanakanur, the Polegar gathered forces in Kallarnadu, joined the revolt, and tried unsuccessfully to expel the British garrison from his fort. ^{[citation needed]}.
