why did British shift Kittur Chennamma from by lagohal kusugalprison
Answers
Answer:
She led an armed force against the British East India Company in 1824 in defiance of the doctrine of lapse in an attempt to maintain Indian control over the region, but was defeated in the third war and died imprisoned
BELGAUM: She was the valiant Indian woman who ignited the fire of freedom struggle and fought against the British. Kittur Rani Chennamma's resistance ended in her martyrdom and even today, tales of her heroic deeds are passed down from one generation to another.
However, the authorities seem to have forgotten to give the brave queen a befitting tribute. Their utter negligence towards maintaining her samadhi at Bailhongal taluk in Belgaum is a testimony to it. When J H Patelwas the chief minister, Chennamma's statues were installed in New Delhi, Bangalore and in Kittur. However, there is little information given at samadhi. Neither her date of birth nor her achievements are recorded on the statue.
The park where the samadhi is situated is in a poor state. The light poles have stopped functioning. Locals say these light poles function only during Kittur Utsav and Kannada Rajyotsava."There is no lawn and proper drinking water facility. The fountain and the park are not maintained properly due to lack of staff. The place is totally neglected by the government," said members of the Kittur Rani Chennamma Youths Association. Anil, a member of the association, said the authorities must improve the facilities and take steps to provide information about Rani Chennamma to keep the visitors informed about her contribution to the country. "When tourists come here they are eager to know about Rani Chennamma. They depend on locals to get information," he added.
