He was a general of the Poligar Veerapandiya Kattabomman in their fight against the British East India Company. [3] .According to a majority of the accepted historical accounts, he was killed in 1799, while fighting for Kattabomman during the First Polygar War. [4] Another view is that he was killed in the Second Polygar War (1800-1) while assisting Kattabomman's younger brother Oomaithurai. [5] [6]
In 2009, the Tamil Nadu government-issued a policy note to build a memorial for Sundaralingam at Governagiri. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] He belonged to the Devendrakula Velalar, an agricultural community found in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. [12]
