India got its independence in 1947 but the struggle for freedom spanned decades before this. One of the first female rulers to rebel against the British Empire was Rani Chennamma. As the ruler of Kittur, she fought against the British and became a folk hero in Karnataka. Here is a snapshot of her life and fights. 23 years later, in 1816, her husband passed away leaving her with a young son. Her son too died a few years later in 1824.

The buildings and monuments we sometimes blindly pass by are such objects which boast of interesting anecdotes of history and make one raise eyebrows when they are explored. The majestic British era bungalow in Dharwad city of Karnataka and today serving as the official residence of the deputy commissioner is one among the vestiges of the colonial period. This grand old building with a delicate touch of landscaping has been the cynosure of all eyes since it was raised in 1820. While everyone is familiar with this structure, not many are aware of an interesting slice of history that this bungalow has hidden in its womb. Amazing as it may sound, there is a tiny room in this bungalow that shares a strange but interesting link with the legendary queen Rani Chennamma of Kittur, the first Indian queen to cross swords with the mighty British opposing their attempts to usurp her kingdom. It was in this room that Rani Chennamma was lodged as a prisoner for a few days. She was held captive after losing the second battle of Kittur to the British. She was brought here to face court proceedings and later shifted to Bailhongal prison to serve life imprisonment.
