The Cattle War (Danish: Kvægkrigen) also commonly referred to as the Perumal War or the Perumal Naik-War (Danish: Perumalkrigen/Perumal Naik-krigen)[3] was a colonial conflict between the Danish East India Company and the Thanjavur Maratha kingdom over the Danish governor Hans Georg Krog's expansionistic foreign policy. The conflict started over the raiding of Danish cattle by the local supervisor of a small land district, Perumal Naik.[2]
