Padikaval System in Tamilnadu -A Study
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
The aim of this article is to highlight the Padikaval system in Tamil Nadu. Any account of the system of judicial administration will not be complete without a description of the organization of the police. But information about the police system in the early periods is not easily available. It appears that generally police arrangements were made by the villagers themselves in their respective areas. Each village had a complement of watchmen for the protection of person and property. This system was known as padikaval and the watchmen as kavalkaran or Padikappar in the Tamil area. They were remunerated for their services by assignments of land and the proceeds of a special cess (padikaval kali) earmarked for the purpose. An inscription of 1221 registers that the padikappar were provided with four velis of land for house-sites by the big assembly since the allowances they had been receiving were not sufficient to maintain them. The land was to be inalienable under any circumstance except in case of treason.
