In the beginning of the 20th century, the idea of nationalism emerged in the taluk. The subjects who were able to comprehend the consequences of colonialism and affected by the revenue, forest and other policies wholeheartedly welcomed the ideas of Balagangadhar Tilak, Gopal Krishna Gokhale and subsequently the M. K. Gandhi. Different classes of the society such as the educated leaders, ryots and tenants participated in the anti-government movements led by the Indian National Congress. Some of the local leaders tried their level best to highlight the grievances of the people through petitions and representations to the government. But the government was unsympathetic and hardly considered them. Objective of study: Movements shows that initially the protests were due to the economic sufferings of the people, and in the beginning of the twentieth century the movements were backed by the nationalist ideology. Data study: A detailed study of the local organisations and their contribution to mobilise the masses to participate in the national movement provides the better understanding of the colonial contradictions in the region of Ankola Taluk.
