Amara Sullia Rebellion

[citation needed] The reason for the rebellion in Sullia was that the British dethroned the ruler of Kodagu, Chikkaveerrarajendra of Haleri dynasty in 1834 and later he was transferred to Bellore.

[5] There was a tradition of paying revenue to the monarch in the form of products before the Sulya Puttur of Dakshina Kannada became a province of Canara.

[citation needed] Despite this, the British issued instructions requiring the residents of Kodagu and Dakshina Kannada to pay taxes in cash.

[citation needed] People started to believe that foreigners were in charge and were syphoning off their hard-earned money under the pretence of taxation.

[citation needed] Freedom fighters came directly from Maduvegadde to Bellare Bungalow and seized the treasury.
