On April 25, 1938, a group of villagers, led by the Indian National Congress (INC) leaders, came together in Vidurashwatha village to hoist a national flag. Under the British regime, hoisting the Indian National Flag was a revolutionary act, and the government did not approve of it. The police opened fire, killing more than 32 and injuring more than a hundred.

The locals were enraged after the massacre of innocent people. This rage led to the solidification of the Mirza-Patel pact (1939), an agreement between then Diwan of Mysore Mirza Ismail and Indian statesman Vallabhbhai Patel, which resulted in the formation of the first government with the participation of the people in Mysore state. Initially, Mahatma Gandhi sent Sardar Patel and Acharya Kripalani, and later, he too visited the site of the massacre.
