Explanation:

Rani Abbakka Chowta was the first Tuluva Queen of Ullal who fought the Portuguese in the later half of the 16th century. She belonged to the Chowta dynasty who ruled over parts of coastal Karnataka (Tulu Nadu), India. Their capital was Puttige.[Note 1] The port town of Ullal served as their subsidiary capital. The Portuguese made several attempts to capture Ullal as it was strategically placed. But Abbakka repulsed each of their attacks for over four decades. For her bravery, she came to be known as Abhaya Rani (The fearless queen).[1][2] She was also one of the earliest Indians to fight colonialism and is sometimes regarded as the 'first woman freedom fighter of India'.[3][4] In the state of Karnataka, she is celebrated along with Rani Kittur Chennamma, Keladi Chennamma, Queen Chennabhairadevi and Onake Obavva, as the foremost women warriors and patriots.[5]
