Rani Abbakka Chowta who ruled in the 16th century. She was also one of the earliest Indians to fight the colonial powers and is sometimes regarded as the ‘first woman freedom fighter of India’. She kept the Portuguese in control for over four decades. She reportedly had 2 daughters who fought along side her. Abbakka is portrayed as dark and good looking, always dressed in simple clothes like a commoner. She is portrayed as a caring queen who worked late into the night dispensing justice.
Her treacherous husband was the prince consort since she was the ruler. He betrayed her for power and she was finally arrested and jailed . However, even in prison she revolted and died fighting.
India’s First Inshore Patrol Vessel ICGS which was recently commissioned is named ‘Rani Abbakka’ after her.

which state she belonged?
