History

In 1938, Shivapura village attracted national attention when a call for freedom was initiated by hoisting a national flag in the village. The British administration soon prohibited it and arrested several freedom fighters. This was preceded by an agrarian riot for canal water. 3,000 men marched to Bangalore and submitted their complaints to the Dewan of the colonial government.
