Solapur city of India
Short brief history of solapur of India
Solapur is largest city in southern Marashtra
India and 4th largest in maharashtra sharing its place with nashik
which is equal in population and area. It lies on the border of
Maharashtra and Karnataka
After the arrest of M.K. Ghandhi in May 1930, protests and demonstrations against British rule
were held throughout India. Large scale rallies and protests were also
held at Solapur. Many citizens lost their lives in police firings. Due
to this an irate mob attacked the police stations. Out of fear the
police and other officers ran out of Solapur. During this period the
responsibility of law, order and security of citizens rested on the
shoulders of Congress party
leaders. Then city congress leader Tulsidas Jadhav along with other
congressmen maintained the law and order for a period of three days from
9 to 11 May 1930. In February 2009 a statue of Shri Tulsidas Jadhav was
erected at Mechanic chowk to acknowledge his bravery act, at the hands
of Shri Sharad Pawar.
Taking the spirit of Dandi March from Mahatma Gandhi, the freedom
fighters of Solapur decided to hoist the national flag on the Solapur
Municipal Council building. Accordingly, senior freedom fighter from
Pune Shri. Annasaheb Bhopatkar hoisted the National Flag on 6 April 1930
on Municipal Council building. This was the first and the unique
incidence of such kind throughout the country. The British rulers, were
irritated and declared martial law at Solapur and arrested many leaders and innocent citizens on false and
trumped up charges. The freedom fighters Shri. Mallappa Dhanshetti,
Shri. Kurban Hussain, Shri. Jagnnath Shinde and Shri. Kisan Sarda were
arrested on charges of killing two policemen of Mangalwar police
station. The lower court sentenced the accused freedom fighters to be
hanged until dead. The High Court also confirmed the same decision and
these four freedom fighters were hanged till death on 12 January 1931.
As a mark of respect to these freedom fighters, the statues of these
freedom fighters have been installed in the heart of the city and the
location has been named 'Hutatma Chowk'.
