Question

There were ___ $Nadus$ from Kolathunadu in the north to the Venad in the south and out of them, ___ accepted the rule of the Perumals.

• A. $16$, $14$
• B. $14$, $12$
• C. $14$, $14$
• D. $16$, $16$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $14$, $14$

The Nadus were under the Perumals who ruled Kerala with their capital at Mahodayapuram. All the 14 nadus from Kolathunadu in the north to the Venad in the south accepted the rule of the Perumals, thus creating a centralised rule in Kerala for the first time.
