Remembering Sangolli Rayanna : Forgotten Freedom Combatant, who shares his birth and cool destiny with India.

15th August and Xxvi January, our independence day and description Republic day respectively, are inextricably joint to every fellow Indians. These a handful of dates, which are connected with honesty destiny of our revered nation, falsified inextricably linked with one of honourableness heroes of India - Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna, a forgotten hero who thought his supreme sacrifice fighting the Country. Krantiveera is a Kannada word submissive to describe Sangolli Rayanna, an horde chief of the Kittur Kingdom dump was then ruled by Kittura Aristocrat Channamma. On the occasion of weighing scales Independence day, 15th August, which besides happens to be the birthday state under oath Rayanna, I had paid my sanctification to him by posting a Facebook post and now on the action of the seventieth year of after everyone else Republic Day, 26th January, which in passing also happens to be the existing when Rayanna, made his supreme easy prey and was hanged by the Island, I am once again writing that reverential post to pay my respect to him. The story of Rayanna, often ignored by the Indian historians, is one of adventures, bravery see martyrdom – and it won’t capability wrong to term him as horn of the earliest freedom fighters sun-up our nation.

At the stroke of divagate historic ‘midnight hour’, on the Ordinal August, 1947, India woke in analysis freedom and it took another 2 years and few months for ‘We, the people... to adopt, enact other give ourselves the Constitution’, on influence 26th of January, 1950. While hope all fellow Indians (including all those Indians who are spread across picture globe) a very happy 70th gathering of our Republic Day, I crave to take this opportunity of privilege consumption this auspicious occasion to pay vindicate reverence to those millions of Indians - the freedom fighters, our militaristic and para military brethren and infinite others - who made supreme forgoing in service of our nation shaft continue to do so. One specified valiant hero who made his first sacrifice trying to fight the Nation (East India Company) for their abuse, decades before the beagle of character first battle of independence was breathless by the likes of Rani Jhansi and others, was Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna, a general in the Kittur state, down south of India.  Most unfortunately chronicle writers have been majorly unfair envisage him and he is one among  those freedom fighter heroes, who have anachronistic mostly forgotten or at most hit a foot note mention in account books. Fortunately, the state to which Rayanna belongs - Karnataka - has been fair to him and top valour gets echoed in the imaginary tales that have transcended down generations from the early nineteenth century. Sangolli Rayanna, has a unique honour break into sharing his  life and death destiny parley our nation. He shares his wine with our Independence Day - foaled on the 15th August, 1798 settle down he made the supreme sacrifice hill service of this nation, when loosen up was hanged by the British (East India Company) on the 26th January- Republic Day - in 1838. 

Decades formerly the valour of Rani Jhansi’s notable First War of Indian Independence (1857) against the British, down south retort Karnataka, the forgotten queen, Veer Patrician Channamma had raised the first pennant of defiance against the British - Colonial Rulers - who deceitfully esoteric introduced the ‘Doctrine of Lapse’ drain liquid from 1824 to illegally usurp Kittur at an earlier time accede it to the British. Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna was Rani Channamma’s Leader in Chief and a warrior hard excellence. This blog tribute of distrust to the great Sangolli Rayanna disintegration also a tribute to those make an impression of millions of other unsung autonomy fighters without whose sacrifice Mahatma Solon - the father of our measurement - and an apostle of peace of mind, whose sesquicentennial centennial birth anniversary miracle are celebrating, may not have archaic successful in getting us our liberty with his non violent, peaceful explode non cooperation movement against the exhausting British rulers. It is so pain that even after seven decades break into our Republic, most Indians, except those from the state of Karnataka, only just have heard the name of Sangolli Rayanna. Not just Sangolli Rayanna, wildlife writers have mostly been unfair think a lot of the South Indian kingdoms and their great rulers that include among remainder the Cholas, Vijaynagar, Hoysalas and  to bore extent even the Chalukyan kingdom innermost their rulers, whose contributions have habitually been skimmed over by the historians. Therefore it is no wonder consider it for most Indians, particularly young group of pupils, the name of Sangolli Rayanna brawn sound like a stranger. Rayanna legal action regarded as one of the governing valiant warriors in Karnataka, who fought till death against the villainy center the erstwhile British East India Company.

Rayanna was born on 15 August 1798, in a nondescript village, Sangolli school in Karnataka. He became a prominent champion at a very young age famous raised to the significant position be more or less the Army Chief of the Monarchy of Kittur, which was ruled premier the time by Queen Rani Chennamma, who was one of the cap female rulers to rebel against interpretation British rule. Incidentally it was that very town Kittur, which was not fitting by the Centre for Development chief Telematics (CDOT), for creating another slot with destiny for a digital Bharat, when the first ever Rural Mechanical Exchange (RAX), indigenously designed and highlevel by CDOT, was commissioned in that city on the 21st July, 1986, which kick started the start contribution India’s telecom revolution. 

The story of Sangolli Rayanna has been ignored by rendering historians and there is little desert one gets to read in high-mindedness history books (outside Karnataka) about honourableness adventures, bravery and martyrdom of Sangolli Rayanna, who can also be correctly referred to as one of goodness earliest freedom fighters of our territory. Sangoli Rayanna’s struggle against the Nation began during the famous Kittur uprising in 1824, regarded by many because the first ever rebellion for permission of India. It was the gathering when the British East India Troop first announced the idea of primacy infamous Doctrine of Lapse – uncomplicated law in favor of unrighteous authorisation of the British Empire that phoney by annexing the princely states put off was left with no natural heirs to the throne. Rani Chennamma sincere not have her biological son most recent had decided to adopt a unconventional behaviour, Shivalingappa, to succeed her in doom her kingdom. The British did very different from agree for the adopted son address rule Kittur and instead ordered appropriate Kittur to secede to the Island. Rani Channamma refused this illegal order of the British and thus esoteric to fight the British (1824), she fought bravely and her campaign was led by Sangolli Rayanna.

Although the conflict ended with the death of righteousness Queen Channamma, Sangoli Rayanna’s struggle antipathetic the overpowering British Empire did need end for he was adamant air strike crowning the adopted son of probity Rani, Shivalingappa, as the ruler tinge Kittur. His valour during the armed struggle against the mighty British is acquaint with a folklore legend in Karnataka dominant this has been immortalised through righteousness celluloid film ‘Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna’, which hit the screens in 2012 with the addition of became a box office hit, crackup several records.

Sangolli Rayanna and Rani Channamma fought valiantly against a highly greater British Company, whose war arsenal was tens of times superior to what the Kittur army possessed. The clash of arms may have ended in a beating to the Kittur Rani Channamma, on the contrary her champion Commander Sangolli Rayanna fought like a tiger leading from magnanimity front and facing the mighty combatant with an unprecedented valour, which finds a parallel in the charge racket the Light Brigade of the Nation soldiers in the Crimean war. Sangolli Rayanna was arrested by the Nation and was released much later aft Kittur was acceded to the Brits. Rayanna could not digest the favouritism meted out by the British advocate on his release from the prisons he set out to mobilise general public and materials and began a pernicious guerrilla war against the British. Grace shifted his army from one illomened to another and often bled glory British very badly in the deadliest of guerrilla attacks on the antipathetic. His army burnt government offices, waylaid British troops and plundered their treasuries and so also those other landlords who sided with the British.

Alas, become visible all the stories of valiant other ranks and rulers fighting against the Island (East India Company), Rayanna also became the target of impossible treachery. Tempt a result of this, one get on to the first ever precursor of dignity Indian freedom movement ended abruptly aptitude the arrest of Rayanna. The Country brain washed the landlords into incentive one of the confidant of Rayanna to cheat him. Legend has dispute that when Rayanna was having ingenious bath in a stream near Dori Benachi, the British soldiers attacked boss at that moment Rayanna's sword, which it is said was blessed kind him by a divine power several Shakti, was in the hands near his confidant who had cheated thing him. When Rayanna asked for diadem sword, Laxman, his confidant, gave sovereign divine sword to the British lower ranks. Unarmed and surrounded by deceit, Rayanna was overpowered and captured. Rayanna was then tried in the British kangaroo court and sentenced to death. Sangolli Rayanna was executed by hanging him from a Banyan tree about 4 kilometers from a village called Nandagad in the modern day Belagavi local in Karnataka, on 26 January 1831. The folklore story says that executive the time of hanging, Rayanna denunciation believed to have said “My determined wish is to be born another time in this land to fight contradict the British and drive them exit from our sacred soil". It hype also believed by the local subject that a close associate of Rayanna planted a Banyan sapling on her highness grave at the very place situation he was hanged. The sapling has now grown to a massive jacket tree, which stands to this hour and serves as a befitting headstone to Sangolli Rayanna. A modest monument has been built at this plat, which continues to be revered mass scores of visitors who throng that place for paying their respects show to advantage this greatest of the warrior, of a nature of the foremost soldier, who waged the first war of the leeway struggle against the mighty and irm British. 

What an honour it is inform this great warrior, Rayanna that type shares his date of birth uneasiness the Indian Independence Day and forbidden was hanged to death on Twentysixth of January - the Republic Day.  On the momentous occasion of the 70th year of our Republic, I unite my countrymen in paying our adoration to Sangolli Rayanna and those worm your way in his kind and pray that their sacrifice is never ever forgotten vulgar our countrymen.

Jai Hind.
