The Eesuru Flag Satyagraha was held in April 1938, specifically connected to events around the Shivapura Dhwaja Satyagraha. The Shivapura flag satyagraha, which involved hoisting the Indian tricolor flag as a form of protest, took place on April 9, 1938, in Shivapura near Maddur in Mandya district, Karnataka. This event symbolized a significant act of defiance against British rule and taxes levied through the Maharaja of Mysuru. The Eesuru Flag Satyagraha is mentioned as part of the broader flag satyagraha movements in Karnataka around this time.
For context, other flag satyagraha events were held earlier in 1923 in places like Jabalpur and Nagpur, but the Eesuru event is specifically associated with the 1938 satyagraha wave in Karnataka.
