Kadu Makrani

(famously known as Kadu Makrani; c. 1841 — 5 June 1887) was a 19th-century Indian revolutionary who operated mainly in Kathiawar region of Gujarat but was born and raised in Makran.

Makrani and his tribe fought for territories and resources, receiving tribute from the rulers of Kathiawar princely states in return.

Makrani's small army, with civilian support, engaged in conflict with the colonial military and made them suffer many casualties.

In April 1887, Makrani's companions suggested returning to Makran to avoid arrest by police in Kathiawar.

Makrani was later captured unconscious after being hit and then knocked out by a falling stone due to a landslide in the Kirthar Mountains on 20 April.

The stone dropped on Makrani, preserved next to his grave.
