Dhodiawagh, a staunch contender of British, organized a revolt against British in South India, from 1799-1800 A.D. and his activities mainly concentrated in Northern parts of Karnataka, because it was very much suitable for Anti British Straggles. Basically, Dhondiawagh was a resident of Channagiri of Bidanore province of the then Shimoga District of princely Mysore State of present Karnataka State. Dhondiawagh was a Maratha by descent and worked under many rulers and ultimately joined military of Hyider Ali of Princely Mysore. Later on misunderstanding arose between Tipu Sultan and Dhondiawagh, as a result Tipu kept him behind the bar. But when Tipu died in the fourth Angli- Mysore War on 4th May 1799, Dhondiawagh, somehow managed to escape from prison and launched Anti British straggle. Under Colonale Dalrymple and Colonel Stevenson the British troops attacked and defeated Dhodiawagh on 17th August 1799. Dhodiawagh hence, moved to the Southern Frontier of Maratha Country where once again he was defeated by a Maratha chief Dhodupanth Gokale on the night of 30th August 1799.
