But Abbakka repulsed each of their attacks for over four decades. For her bravery, she came to be known as Abhaya Rani (The fearless queen). She was also one of the earliest Indians to fight European colonialism and is sometimes regarded as the 'first woman freedom fighter of India'. In the state of Karnataka, she is celebrated along with Rani Kittur Chennamma, Keladi Chennamma, Rani Chennabhairadevi and Onake Obavva, as the foremost women warriors and patriots.

Abbakka Chowta

Rani Abbakka Chowta was the first Tuluva Queen of Ullal who fought the Portuguese in the latter half of the 16th century. She belonged to the Chowta dynasty, an indigenous Tuluva dynasty who ruled over parts of coastal Karnataka (Tulu Nadu), India. Their capital was Puttige.The port town of Ullal served as their subsidiary capital. The Portuguese made several attempts to capture Ullal as it was strategically placed.

Her rescue helped rally the Cheyenne warriors to win the battle. She fought next to her husband in the Battle of the Little Bighorn nine days later. In 2005 Northern Cheyenne storytellers broke more than 100 years of silence about the battle, and they credited Buffalo Calf Road Woman with striking the blow that knocked Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer off his horse before he died.

Buffalo Calf Road Woman, or Brave Woman, (c. 1844– 1879) was a Northern Cheyenne woman who saved her wounded warrior brother, Chief Comes in Sight, in the Battle of the Rosebud (as it was named by the United States) in June 1876.

Mourners arrived at Graceland — Presley’s home and where he passed — from around the world to pay tribute almost as soon as the news got out. Since his passing, the gathering continues in a tradition called Elvis Week. Held in August, mourners and fans make their way to Graceland in a tribute to Presley’s life.

By 1968, his star power had been slightly overtaken by newer artists like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and others. Over the next few years, he released new singles and played concerts again. He was once again the top attraction in the U.S. for the next decade. He died of a heart attack the night before he was to start another concert tour, in 1977.

His star was flying high. It was at this time, in 1958, that it was announced that he had been drafted into the U.S. Army; he served for two years.

Upon returning, he continued to produce hits, some of which had been recordings made before he served in the army. He soon ventured into movies as well, turning them into box office hits. He even recorded the soundtracks for these movies, although many contend his solo music was some of his best work.

Presley dominated the music charts and is widely acknowledged as the person who brought the age of rock ‘n’ roll to the U.S. He soon became the idol of that decade, appealing to all genders and ages of people around the globe. His television appearances on shows like Ed Sullivan’s Sunday night variety show brought in record audiences. He inspired thousands of musicians — John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Prince, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bruce Springsteen, and more, many of whom continue to be Presley fans.

He was already a very flamboyant personality before he began his journey in the world of music; he wore colorful clothes and had relatively long hair. His on-stage persona began to emerge in 1954 when he began playing with blues singer Arthur Crudup’s ‘That’s All Right Mama.’

Elvis Presley — widely known as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, was one of the most dominant and famous performers of the 20th century. Rising from humble beginnings, this talented teenager was picked up by Sun Records after a producer heard his audition tape. The rest is history.
