By 1849, the whole of the country had come under the British administration by fair means or foul. But, unrest and rebellions against them were everywhere. In 1793, the peasants of
Vizianagaram, near Vishakhappatnam rose in revolt against the British and stopped paying taxes to them. The agitation further continued up to the beginning of the present century, when Alluri Seetarama Raju died, after making the Manyam Peasant Rebellion immortal. Palashi Kerala Varma's rebellion in Kerala in the beginning of the 19th century, was a great one. There were also vanavasi rebellions all over India against the British. Many of these patriots were called bandits and thugs by the British and were shot dead.
