History
An historical revolution took place during 1837 when a majority of the Gowdas, and other castes from Amara Sullia, Madikeri and Bhagamandala went and fought for freedom against British.
They could hoist their flag in Mangalore and on their way back they were caught by the British due to the leakage of their hideouts by Kodavas. Due to the threat from Tippu Sultan, Kodava Rajas had become more loyal to the British and he then asked Coorgis/Kodavas to supress the Kodagu Gowdas from rising against British in 1837. It was hence named after it as Amara Sullya Dhange.
