Coorg - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | COORG (an anglicized corruption of Kodagu, said to be derived from the Kanarese Kudu, " steep," "hilly"), a province of India, administered by a commissioner, subordinate to the governorgeneral through the resident of Mysore, who is officially also chief commissioner of Coorg. |
 | | The early accounts of Coorg are purely legendary, and it was not till the 9th and 10th centuries that its history became the subject of authentic record. |
 | | Coorg, however, was not absorbed in Mysore, which was hard pressed by other enemies, and a prince of the Ikkeri or Bednur family (perhaps related to the Changalvas) succeeded in bringing the whole country under his sway, his descendants continuing to be rajas of Coorg till 1834. |
