<Li> Kanagil (Kangil) </Li> <Li> Surve (Soorve) </Li> <P> In 1930, after the success of Mahatma Gandhi's Salt Satyagraha, Karnataka decided to conduct its own . On 13 April, in the presence of about 40,000 people M.P. Nadakarni broke the salt law in Ankola . Revu Honnappa Naik, Honnappa Mangeshkar bought the first packet of salt auctioned for 30 rupees . After the auction Swami Vidyananda addressed the gathering in which leaders like Karnad Sadashiva Rao, Smt Umabai Kundapur, Dr Hardikar, T.S. Naikand others participated . The police promptly arrested the leaders but the Sathyagraha continued for 45 days with full tempo . Salt Sathyagraha was offered in nearly 30 centres like Mangalore, Kundapur, Udupi, Puttur, Padubidre, etc. in Karnataka . Students came out in large numbers to prepare salt and sell it from house to house . When Gandhiji decided to raid the salt depot at Dharsana, a similar raid was undertaken in Karnataka at Sanikatte . A group of volunteers led by Sridhar Panduranga Balaji collected a few maunds of salt and carried it to Kumta, where the whole stock was sold in 15 minutes . </P> <P> Four taluks in Karnataka namely Hirekerur in Dharwad district and Ankola, Sirsi and Siddapura in North Kanara district were selected for organizing the no - tax campaign . Despite repressive measures by the authorities, the campaign was a huge success . More than 1500 activists were arrested in Karnataka for participating in the Civil - Disobedience Movement during 1930 - 31 . These historic events led to Ankola being named the "Bardoli of Karnataka". </P>
