Statue of Freedom Fighter Guddemane Appaiah Gowda in Madikeri

According to an article which was once published by India's oldest National English Weekly, Amara Sulya (Kannada: Amara suḷyada svātantrya hōrāṭa, 1837) refers to the resistance against the oppressive practices of the then British East India Company. The movement took place twenty years before what is now known as the first war of Indian Independence.

This movement took place in the year 1837.

Members belonging to the Arebhashe, as well as the Tulu cultural groups, took lead responsibility in this freedom movement.

The people in today's Kodagu, Dakshina Kannada districts of Karnataka and Kumble, Kasaragod region in Kerala supported the freedom Movement. Amara Sulya Freedom Movement, the freedom fighters began from Sulya and reached Bavutagudde Mangaluru.

Upon reaching Mangalore, the British flag was lowered by the freedom fighters at a location that is known by the name, Bavutagudde.

For a period of 13 days, the Canara area enjoyed independence.

Early rebellions

The British Government made a colossal change in the land revenue collecting system. They inducted major economic, and territorial changes in Kodagu, for their administrative conveniences. Parts of Puttur Taluk and Sullia were separated from Kodagu and made part of South Canara district of the Madras Province. This systematic oppression was done by the British East India Company on the people of Puttur and Sulya. Because of the forced policy, agriculture became tough. Therefore people rose up against the British.

The change in the mode of tax payment is different, which was now to be made entirely in the form of cash rather than the product. The farmers used to give a part of their products as tax, but the new system only added to their woes, as people did not like to give money to a foreigner. This led many of them to refuse to pay the tax outright which ultimately lead to the freedom movement.

History

After the Second Anglo-Mysore War, in 1799 South Canara district was created, whose administration passed into the hands of the British Government. The administration over Coorg continued under Haleri Chiefs till the deposition of the last hereditary ruler, Chikkaveera Rajendra in 1834. This led to the termination of the Haleri rule and the then British East India Company issued a Proclamation on 11 April 1934 annexing Coorg into the company dominion.

After the annexation of Coorg, the district of Amara Sullia and Puttur were transferred under Canara for ease of administration. Kedambadi Ramaiah Gowda was primarily responsible for gathering people at Sulya, for this freedom movement in South Kanara. Later the family members of Haleri Kalyana Swamy were caught by the British government, So Kedambadi Ramaiah Gowda selected one Puttabassappa(a peasant of Shanivara Sante in Hemmani Village), to play the role of Kalyana Swamy. Kalyana Swamy was declared the Rajah by his men. He claimed to be a member belonging to the erstwhile Haleri family.

The British Government changed the mode of tax payment to cash rather than Barter System(an old method of exchanging the agricultural produce) and they implemented a tax on tobacco and salt. In 1837 Puttabasappa declared that the tax on tobacco and salt will be withdrawn. The local agrarian community, Arebhashe Gowda's, landowners, and local chieftains were assured of this move made by Puttabasappa. The rebellion team lead by Puttabasappa and Kedambadi Ramaiah Gowda captured the government treasury in Bellare which was the first move in Amara Sulya Freedom Movement. The Freedom fighters marched towards Mangalore to re-capture it from the British East India Company.
