'''Kittur''', also known as '''Kitturu''' and historically as '''Kittoor''', is a ''[[taluka]]'' in the [[Belgaum district]] of the [[India]]n state of Karnataka. It was part of [[Bailhongal]] taluka but was declared as an independent taluka on 23{{nbsp}}October 2012 by the Chief Minister of Karnataka on the inauguration of Kittur Utsav. It is 177th Taluk of Karnataka State. It is a place of historical importance because of the armed rebellion of [[Kittur Chennamma]] (1778–1829), [[Rani]] of the State of Kittur against the [[British East India Company]], during which a British Commissioner, [[St John Thackeray]] was killed.

==History==
On the outskirts of the town lie the ruins of the palace within a fort. The palace was the residence of the Rani Chennamma.

In the 18th century, Kittur was ruled by the [[Maratha Empire|Marathas]], until the [[Third Anglo-Maratha War]], when it came under British suzerainty.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=k--C9xHsSnEC&q=marathas%2520gajendragad&pg=PA21|title=Glimpses of Maratha Socio-economic History|last=Chitnis|first=Krishnaji Nageshrao|date=1994-01-01|publisher=Atlantic Publishers & Dist|isbn=9788171563470|language=en}}</ref>

Kittur was ruled by Mallasaraja in the early 19th century. His only son predeceased him, and subsequently, he was succeeded by his wife, Queen Chennamma.

In connection with a disputed succession to this chiefship in 1824, St John Thackeray, Commissioner of Dharwad, was killed in a battle when approaching the Kittur fort. Later another unit stormed Kittur and captured [[Rani Chennamma|Queen Chennamma]], who was imprisoned in Bailhongal Jail where she died. Rani Chennamma became a legend.

Her death was followed by subsequent revolts by her general [[Sangolli Rayanna]], who was also considered a hero, destroying many British officers and records. He was later hanged in 1831.

The town lends its name to the fictitious coastal town in the 2008 novel ''[[Between the Assassinations]]'' by [[Aravind Adiga]] ([[Belgaum District]] has no coast, which rules out the real Kittur being the setting).
