Bellary Siddamma is another name to remember for her active participation in the freedom movement. She was born in 1903 in Dhundasi village in Haveri Taluk of Dharwad district.. Her father candled in her the national spirit. She also had a spiritual bent of mind. She was married to Bellary Murigeppa who was also a staunch nationalist and follower of Gandhiji. The first important event which shook Bellary Siddamma and drove her to public life was the death sentence passed on Mallappa Dhanashetti and his comrades.
In spite of the efforts of leaders of the state they were hanged. This incident inspired many more youngsters to participate in the freedom movement. It was at this time that Siddamma declared that the British should be driven out of India and independence should be gained at any cost. She who had not so long ventured out of the four walls of the house became an inspiring speaker and a good organizer. She was really a very brave woman. She toured all the neighbouring villages of Davangere and Chitradurga and addressed men and women in their own language and sought their co-operation. Because of her excellent work in organizing women volunteers, she was soon recognized as a prominent state level leader in the Mysore State.
