 Keladi is located ~40 kms from Jog Falls, Shivamogga Dist, Karnataka.

Sadasiva Nayaka was a very trusted general of Vijayanagara Empire, who served in northern expeditions vs Deccan Sultanates, as well as proving loyalty whenever internal instability arose in the empire.
3.
 Shivappa Nayaka gave refuge to the last Vijayanagara king, Shriranga III after defeat in battle by Adilshah of Bijapur.
4.
 The 4th successor of Shivappa Nayaka, Rani Chennammaji, gave refuge to Chhatrapati Rajaram was en route to Jinji from Panhala fort, escaping from Mughal invasion of the Deccan.
5.
 Later, Somashekhara Nayaka took Sante-Bennur & Ajjampura from Mughals.

 1763: After the setback to Marathas at Panipat in 1761, Hyder Ali of Mysuru invaded Keladi & captured Queen Virammaji. She was imprisoned with her son in fort Madugiri/Madhugiri.

1767: Peshwa Madhavrao captured the fort of Madugiri on 4th March & liberated Rani Virammaji!

 #Thread on Veer Savarkar's definitions of Hindu, Hinduism, & Hindutva.

Many people seem to be confused about the terminology.

To aid in solving the confusion, let's look at how Veer Savarkar dealt with the terms, in his book *Essentials of Hindutva* (pub. - 1923)

#Hindutva
2.
 The initial sections of the book itself contains a section titled 'Hindutva is different from Hinduism'!

But how exactly? ⏬

*Hinduism is a subset of Hindutva. Hindutva doesn't just deal with religious creeds, religious/spiritual history.*
3.
 Firstly, Veer Savarkar takes up critical discussion to define the term 'Hindu'.

As per the discussion, Veer Savarkar observes that, the word Hindu can be formed from Sanskrit 'S' -> Prakrit 'H' transformation in the word 'Sindhu'
