Amara Sullia Movement or Kalyanappa Katakayi, one of the first independent battle that against the British rule. Still we remember it was not the vision of whole India.
1837 the Kodagu Haleri supporters stormed in to Mangalore and flag fluttered high at Bavuta Gudde. There was no government nearly one week; later the British recaptured Mangalore area and hanged or jailed the leaders of this Coorg rebellion.
It happened in Mangalore but it is not a Tulu people’s independent movement.
British dethroned Haleri dynasty in Kodagu, Chikka Veerendra Wodeyar the last king of Coorg; he ruled 1920 to 1934; Kalyanaswamy, who declared himself the only surviving heir to the Coorg throne.
After that Kalyanappa took charge of the rebel and he himself posed the King of Kodagu. That period Sullia was in Kodagu Kingdom.
So the movement called as amara Sullia swatantrya sangarama; and most of the rebellion also from the Sullia region. Aparampara, Kalyanappa, Puttabasappa, Kedambady Ramegowda the leaders, they are Lingayath and Kannada talking people not the Tulu people.
In Bellare they looted treasure and 2,000 strong army formed. After the movement reaches Bantwal, some Tulu people also join the battalion. Mainly the Baidya of Ubaar, he later hanged by British with Kalyanaswamy.
