Sindhura Lakshmana (1898–1922) was an Indian revolutionary fighter, who fought in the independence movement against British Colonial rule in India.
Lakshmana was born in Sindhur village in a Kannada speaking Valmiki Nayaka family, which is now in Jath taluk of Sangli district in Indian state of Maharashtra.
[1] During the time when Mahatma Gandhi's Non-cooperation movement was spreading across India, Lakshmana started his own struggle against the British by forming a band of men to loot the tax money collected by the government treasury and distribute it among the populace.
Sindhura Lakshmana is regarded as a hero and freedom fighter especially in the states of Karnataka and Maharashtra due to his redistribution of colonial taxes to the poor people of the region.
A Kannada film Veera Sindhoora Lakshmana released in 1977 depicts his rebellion and struggle against the British Government.
