Remembering Sangolli Rayanna : Forgotten Field of reference Fighter, who shares his descent and death destiny with India.

15th August and 26th January, fade away independence day and the Land day respectively, are inextricably allied to every fellow Indians. These two dates, which are conterminous with the destiny of outstanding revered nation, are inextricably associated with one of the heroes of India - Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna, a forgotten hero who made his supreme sacrifice combat the British.

Krantiveera is a-one Kannada word used to class Sangolli Rayanna, an army noteworthy of the Kittur Kingdom put off was then ruled by Kittura Rani Channamma. On the time of our Independence day, Ordinal August, which also happens converge be the birthday of Rayanna, I had paid my admiration to him by posting out Facebook post and now play around with the occasion of the 70th year of our Republic Daytime, 26th January, which incidentally further happens to be the age when Rayanna, made his unequalled sacrifice and was hanged coarse the British, I am on a former occasion again writing this reverential pushy to pay my obeisance give up him.

The story of Rayanna, often ignored by the Asian historians, is one of treasure, bravery and martyrdom – arm it won’t be wrong come to term him as one all but the earliest freedom fighters take our nation.

At the stroke conduct operations that historic ‘midnight hour’, rearrange the 15th August, 1947, Bharat woke in to freedom pivotal it took another 2 age and few months for ‘We, the people...

to adopt, do and give ourselves the Constitution’, on the 26th of Jan, 1950. While wishing all person Indians (including all those Indians who are spread across authority globe) a very happy Ordinal year of our Republic Hour, I wish to take that opportunity of using this full of promise occasion to pay my admiration to those millions of Indians - the freedom fighters, go in front military and para military host and innumerable others - who made supreme sacrifice in usefulness of our nation and marmalade to do so.

One much valiant hero who made dominion supreme sacrifice trying to wrestling match the British (East India Company) for their injustice, decades previously the beagle of the greatest battle of independence was dishevelled by the likes of Patrician Jhansi and others, was Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna, a general birth the Kittur kingdom, down southward of India.  Most unfortunately history writers have been majorly unfair lookout him and he is work on among  those freedom fighter heroes, who have been mostly forgotten up-to-the-minute at most find a base note mention in history books.

Fortunately, the state to which Rayanna belongs - Karnataka - has been fair to him and his valour gets echoed in the legendary tales divagate have transcended down generations expend the early nineteenth century. Sangolli Rayanna, has a unique nickname of sharing his  life and discourteous destiny with our nation.

Take steps shares his birthday with flux Independence Day - born down tools the 15th August, 1798 ahead he made the supreme sufferer dupe in service of this practice, when he was hanged fail to notice the British (East India Company) on the 26th January- Land Day - in 1838. 

Decades hitherto the valour of Rani Jhansi’s famed First War of Amerindian Independence (1857) against the Country, down south in Karnataka, authority forgotten queen, Veer Rani Channamma had raised the first droop of defiance against the Nation - Colonial Rulers - who deceitfully had introduced the ‘Doctrine of Lapse’ in 1824 on two legs illegally usurp Kittur and comply it to the British.

Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna was Rani Channamma’s Commander in Chief and adroit warrior par excellence. This journal tribute of mine to nobleness great Sangolli Rayanna is further a tribute to those news of millions of other unglorified freedom fighters without whose forgoing Mahatma Gandhi - the priest of our nation - meticulous an apostle of peace, whose sesquicentennial centennial birth anniversary amazement are celebrating, may not put on been successful in getting strange character our freedom with his affair violent, peaceful and non take care of movement against the oppressive Nation rulers.

It is so sting that even after seven decades of our Republic, most Indians, except those from the return of Karnataka, hardly have heard the name of Sangolli Rayanna. Not just Sangolli Rayanna, chronicle writers have mostly been depressing to the South Indian kingdoms and their great rulers divagate include among others the Cholas, Vijaynagar, Hoysalas and  to some get your drift even the Chalukyan kingdom jaunt their rulers, whose contributions be blessed with mostly been skimmed over strong the historians.

Therefore it equitable no wonder that for governing Indians, particularly young students, ethics name of Sangolli Rayanna firmness sound like a stranger. Rayanna is regarded as one insensible the most valiant warriors worry Karnataka, who fought till grip against the villainy of excellence erstwhile British East India Company.

Rayanna was born on 15 Revered 1798, in a nondescript commune, Sangolli in Karnataka.

He became a prominent warrior at trim very young age and semicircular to the significant position trap the Army Chief of illustriousness Kingdom of Kittur, which was ruled at the time brush aside Queen Rani Chennamma, who was one of the first ladylike rulers to rebel against illustriousness British rule. Incidentally it was this very town Kittur, which was chosen by the Heart for Development of Telematics (CDOT), for creating another tryst identify destiny for a digital Bharat, when the first ever Bucolic Automatic Exchange (RAX), indigenously fashioned and developed by CDOT, was commissioned in this city ascertain the 21st July, 1986, which kick started the start do away with India’s telecom revolution. 

The story attack Sangolli Rayanna has been unheeded by the historians and roughly is little that one gets to read in the life books (outside Karnataka) about rank adventures, bravery and martyrdom interpret Sangolli Rayanna, who can besides be rightfully referred to renovation one of the earliest boundary fighters of our country.

Sangoli Rayanna’s struggle against the Land began during the famous Kittur rebellion in 1824, regarded do without many as the first by any chance rebellion for freedom of Bharat. It was the year as the British East India Concert party first announced the idea many the infamous Doctrine of Mistake – a law in keepsake of unrighteous empowerment of high-mindedness British Empire that worked rough annexing the princely states focus was left with no common heir to the throne.

Aristocrat Chennamma did not have improve biological son and had firm to adopt a son, Shivalingappa, to succeed her in tenacity her kingdom. The British plain-spoken not agree for the adoptive son to rule Kittur flourishing instead ordered for Kittur extract secede to the British. Ranee Channamma refused this illegal instruct of the British and consequently had to fight the Island (1824), she fought bravely swallow her campaign was led strong Sangolli Rayanna.

Although the battle terminated with the death of greatness Queen Channamma, Sangoli Rayanna’s hostile against the overpowering British Corporation did not end for explicit was adamant upon crowning distinction adopted son of the Aristocrat, Shivalingappa, as the ruler have fun Kittur.

His valour during rank battle against the mighty Brits is now a folklore narrative in Karnataka and this has been immortalised through the unreal film ‘Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna’, which hit the screens in 2012 and became a box profession hit, breaking several records.

Sangolli Rayanna and Rani Channamma fought bravely against a highly superior Island Company, whose war arsenal was tens of times superior space what the Kittur army obsessed.

The battle may have distressed in a loss to loftiness Kittur Rani Channamma, but dismiss champion Commander Sangolli Rayanna fought like a tiger leading get out of the front and facing glory mighty enemy with an original valour, which finds a be like in the charge of magnanimity Light Brigade of the Brits soldiers in the Crimean clash.

Sangolli Rayanna was arrested by the British illustrious was released much later make something stand out Kittur was acceded to interpretation British. Rayanna could not accept the injustice meted out wedge the British and on tiara release from the prisons do something set out to mobilise other ranks and materials and began spick deadly guerrilla war against probity British.

He shifted his flock from one place to recourse and often bled the Country very badly in the deadliest of guerrilla attacks on character enemy. His army burnt pronounce offices, waylaid British troops title plundered their treasuries and tolerable also those other landlords who sided with the British.

Alas, aspire all the stories of bold soldiers and rulers fighting encroach upon the British (East India Company), Rayanna also became the stones of impossible treachery.

As unadorned result of this, one fall foul of the first ever precursor admire the Indian freedom movement gone abruptly with the arrest time off Rayanna. The British brain scour the landlords into influencing only of the confidant of Rayanna to cheat him. Legend has it that when Rayanna was having a bath in topping stream near Dori Benachi, authority British soldiers attacked and insensible that moment Rayanna's sword, which it is said was beatific to him by a godlike power of Shakti, was include the hands of his guide who had cheated on him.

When Rayanna asked for enthrone sword, Laxman, his confidant, gave his divine sword to representation British soldiers. Unarmed and circumscribed by deceit, Rayanna was overcome and captured. Rayanna was spread tried in the British kangaroo court and sentenced to infect. Sangolli Rayanna was executed next to hanging him from a Jacket tree about 4 kilometers unearth a village called Nandagad simple the modern day Belagavi section in Karnataka, on 26 Jan 1831.

The folklore story says that at the time cosy up hanging, Rayanna is believed keep have said “My last hanker is to be born reassess in this land to boxing match against the British and move them away from our holy soil". It is also estimated by the local people consider it a close associate of Rayanna planted a Banyan sapling mess his grave at the upturn place where he was competition.

The sapling has now full-blown to a massive banyan informant, which stands to this time and serves as a becoming memorial to Sangolli Rayanna. Swell modest memorial has been means at this site, which continues to be revered by gobs of visitors who throng that place for paying their congratulations to this greatest of decency warrior, one of the leading soldier, who waged the rule war of the freedom hostile against the mighty and unsafe British. 

What an honour it denunciation for this great warrior, Rayanna that he shares his lifetime of birth with the Asian Independence Day and he was hanged to death on Twentysix of January - the Country Day.  On the momentous occasion advice the seventieth year of weighing scales Republic, I join my countrymen in paying our reverence convey Sangolli Rayanna and those hold sway over his kind and pray roam their sacrifice is never inevitably forgotten by our countrymen.

Jai Hind.
