The tragic story of Freedom Fighters from Backward Region of Karnataka who fought against 2 EVILS - British & Razaakars (Owaisi Party).
While hundreds of Hindus were murdered, more than 125 women were raped, some in public places mainly by the Razaakars.
As we know the whole

nation celebrates the Independence Day on 15th August every year since 1947, but the people of Kalyana Karnataka (Hyderabad Karnataka) celebrate Independence Day on not only 15th August but also on 17th September, since 1948.
The freedom movement in the region was in no way at

low profile, it was as serious as in other parts of the country. But unfortunate nobody highlighted this aspect in the history of the freedom movement. H-K region originally consisted of three districts-Bidar, Gulbarga and Raichur which belonged to the Hyderabad state and later

merged in Karnataka state.
We know it was Sardar Vallabhai who made Nizam of Hyderabad surrender & join Bharat instead of Pakistan, but very few knows about Freedom Fighters who died during this struggle.
The Freedom and Unification movement in Hyderabad Karnataka was more

intensified, widespread and radical than in the other areas of Karnataka.
The intellectuals provided the historical cultural background to the political and national awakening as well as to the freedom movement itself. The most important intellectuals were Ramachnadra Pillai,

Agornath chottopdaya, Laxman Rao Komaraju, Madpathi Hanmanth Rao, Suvarna Prathap Reddy, Hardekar Manjappa, Vittalrao Devulganwkar, Pojjya Doddappa Appa, Pandit Taranath & others. The writings, speeches and songs encouraged and inspired the common men to participate in the

freedom and unification movement. Even some of these intellectuals also participated in the freedom movement and underwent imprisonment. The Hindus of the H-K had to fight not only against the British imperial power, but also against the Nizam’s feudal and communal rule too.

The vernacular press and national schools played a very important role in bringing awareness on Library movements among the people of H-K. The library movement was closely associated with national movement. In 1918 Dodappa Appa started the Sharana Basveshwar Kannada Library.

The main aim of this was to take an active part in the national movement and create national awareness among the people. In 1930 the founder of N V School, Vittalarao Devalganwakar established National Library Association, in 1931 Bartha Library was established at Chincholli.

With the Influence of Pandit Taranath, Jagganath Rao Fadnavis, R.G.Joshi and others established Bharath and Jayalaxhmi Libraries in Raichur. Jagannath Desai established Dasappa Library at Kanakagiri of Ganagavathi Taluk.
In 1932 advocate Uday Banu and Gopal Dev Shasthri

established Araya Samaj Library at Basavakalayana.
Shirur Virabhadrappa opened Vishwanath Library at Adur in 1932.
In the same year Basaweshwar Libraries were established at Itagi, Yalburga, Rajuri.
Kannada Sahitya Sangha library started at Gulbarga.
In the freedom movement

of H-K, Libraries played very important role in bringing awareness about the freedom to the masses.
A trip down memory lane shows that it was no easy task for freedom fighters to secure independence from Nizam rule and the tyranny of the Razaakars.
As many as 30 camps were set

up by the freedom fighters of H-K region along the borders of Raichur and Kalaburgi to wage an armed struggle against the Razaakars and to liberate their region from Nizam rule.
Former MP of Bidar Ramachandra Veerappa, Sardar Sharangouda Patil of Jewargi, M. Nagappa of Raichur

Shivakumaraswamy Alavandi, who later became the Lok Sabha member from Koppal, Bheemanna Khandre of Bhalki, Jayateerth Rajpurohit of Kanakagiri, Kolur Mallappa of Yadagir, Benakal Bheemasenrao of Karatagi, were some of the heroes who led the struggle from these camps.

The Gorta village in Basavakalyana taluk bore the brunt of Razaakars attack. More than 200 Hindus in the village were massacred and their residences set on fire. This massacre is called the “Jalianwala Bagh” of Karnataka.

Every year on September 17th, villagers of Malli in

Jewargi Taluk, Karnataka pays homage to 11 Martyrs.
Just eight days before Hyderabad got freedom from the Nizam’s rule, 11 villagers became martyrs at the hands of Rajakars.
09-09-1947, Rajakars came in two trucks to Malli, massacred Mahipatiraya, Ramaraya, Narayanaraya,

Gururaya of the Sardeshpande family, Siddharama, Sheshappa Pattar, Yallappa Kurubar, Halleppa Harijan, Nagoji, Janoji and Basalingappa. They were punished for sheltering fighters against the Nizam’s rule and also for hoisting the Indian flag on August 15, 1948.

Rangarao Kulkarni, brother of martyr Muralidhar Rao Kulkarni who was killed just a few days before the Malli incident, told @IndianExpress that the Rajakars went directly to the house of the Sardeshpandes and killed four family members in front of their house. This was in

revenge for one of the family members — Krishnarao Sardeshpande, who was a student at Surpur town — launching the liberation movement and who was jailed in Surpur.
Not only they killed the Freedom Fighters, but also looted the villages too.
Sidramaiah Hiremath, who is the lone

survivor of the movement (IE interview appeared in 2017)
told that Malli was a village of patriots. The villagers hoisted the national flag on August 15, 1947, even though Malli was under the clutches of the Nizams. Many activists of the liberation movement, including

Sardar Sharana Gouda Inamdar, Hanumantrao Sarnad and Muralidhar Rao Kulkarni were haboured in Malli.

After Sacrificing so much for independence....
After Suffering through Heinous Crimes From Muslims
Karnataka witnessed, few days back, MUSLIM BASTARS demanding Karnataka

Government to stop celebrating Independence Day celebrations of Suvarna Karnataka as it hurts Muslim Sentiments.

Hoping that Karnataka Govt will punish those vile creatures & ensure no Jihadi comes in between during festivities.
