Battle of Chitradurga

1779 ke aakhri dino mein, Nawab Hyder Ali aur Raja Veera Madakari Nayaka ke beech ek zabardast aur lambi Jung hui. Nawab Hyder Ali ne apni badi sena ko jama kiya aur Chitradurga ke kila ko chaaro taraf se gher liya. Unhone sirf talwar se nahi, balki dimaag se bhi yeh jung ladi thi — psychological warfare, baar-baar ke hamle, aur strategic blockades ka istemal karke defenders ko kamzor karne ki poori koshish ki.

Lekin Chitradurga ne himmat nahi haari. Is Jung ka sabse yaadgar kissa hai ONAKE OBAVVA ka. Ek veerangana jo ek chhupe hue raaste ki rakhwali ki thi — Unke haath mein tha sirf ek lakdi ka onake, yaani okhli ka musal. Unhone akele hi kai Mysore ke kayi sainikon ko maar giraaya jo chupke se kila mein ghusne ki koshish kar rahe the. Aaj bhi ye kahani Chitradurga ki himmat aur balidan ka prateek hai.

Chitradurga ka kila aasani se tootne wala nahi tha. Saat pahaadiyon par bana hua tha, pathar ki deewarein, unche bastions, aur majboot watchtowers se ghira hua — ek prakritik aur kalaatmak fortress Hai.
