The Hindu State of Coorg (Kodagu / Kurg) was founded in the 11th century. It
became a British protectorate in 1790.
In 1834 its ruler was deposed for reason of "misrule", the territory becoming
a Province of British India.
The Indian constitutions of 1919 and 1935 confirmed the position of Coorg as
a province under direct central rule, without any local autonomy
