Manoj,

As r_kk explained terrorist and freedom fighter are just views from two different perspectives. Well you gave an one liner stating that 'The moment one kills knowingly an innocent person/civilian he is terrorist- If agreed what honor does 'Netaji' hold when he allied with Japan and Germany knowingly

. Was he innocent that he was thinking Germany was fighting for its freedom from jews and japan from chinese?!!

I agree on one view that 'Kattabomman' was a feudal lord and it was only a war of authority over people and wealth between 'British' and 'Kattabomman. It was a fight for right over territories. just like a war between a Dada from 'Pudupettai' and a Dada from 'Ayothi kuppam' but still 'Veeramani' will be their local hero for 'Ayothi kuppam' people.
Similarly we can contrive history for our own liking and say 'Raja raja Chozhan' was a Terrorist who invaded ' Srilanka', ' Java' and 'Sumatra' and killed many innocent people to establish a larger kingdom. IMHO opinion i would like to say only this, that all kings and rulers were terrorists against people. But it was history of those times and it was the way of life and people had accepted it and hailed them as their heroes. Nothing can be done against it now and we can only look forward for a true people's democracy in future rather than delving into past and terming X Y and Z as terrorists.
We need some heroes for the time being to make people understand that they are the true heroes of the future.
