  • Abstract:
  • This article examines the significant role played by Hosadurga Taluk in India's struggle for independence, focusing on its participation in the Forest Satyagraha. Mahatma Gandhi's principles of non-violent resistance, known as Satyagraha, formed the foundation of this struggle. Hosadurga Taluk, situated in the Chitradurga district, emerged as an unlikely but vital center for the freedom movement. The article highlights the dedicated participation of Hosadurga's residents, primarily farmers and traders, who faced imprisonment and hardships in their pursuit of freedom. It underscores the impact of the Forest Satyagraha, which involved refusing to pay revenue, promoting Swadeshi goods, and tree felling as forms of protest. The Hosadurga Taluk Congress Committee played a crucial role in coordinating these efforts, despite legislative attempts to suppress their activities. In essence, this article illuminates the remarkable contributions of Hosadurga Taluk to India's struggle for independence, showcasing how this rural region became a symbol of unwavering dedication to the cause of freedom against British colonial rule.
